Self-Bill Invoice Generation — Improvements

General Feedback & Requests

I can get FAB’s Self-Bill Invoice from this page by clicking the “Download” button.

1st issue

It doesn’t contain valuable information like the Unity Asset Store document.

For example, I need an Issue Date to convert USD to Local Currency based on this date for tax purposes.

I only have this date on the Web Interface in the “Payouts” tab: 2025-01-31 — but I have no such date in this PDF document which shows: 1/12/2024 - 31/12/2024

2nd issue

For now, I only have monthly generation doc.

This is not obvious to tax authority about seeing “-” value in “Net Unit Sold” section and counting the sale from previous month which is overlapped with previous month. As I understand, such a situation happens when the $100 threshold was not reached in the previous month.

I need a document not for a month, but for the whole payout period like on Unity’s document with Issue Date, Invoice Number, Whole Payout Period (Not a Month), Sender Address.

Please improve your file generation.

I agree!
I didn’t had a tax inspection yet but I’m afraid to get one with such “unofficial-looking” document!

This is a significant concern for me as well. I get nervous with every payment because I know I don’t have the proper documentation for the tax authorities. While HyperWallet provides some transaction details that we can print, they are not exactly invoices. For every payment, Epic should issue a document that includes at least the payer’s name, logo and address, payment amount, service description, and the payee’s name. Unity asset store does that.

The thing is that’s not a self bill invoice. That’s just a payout report. UEM also never had this kind of feature. It actually was a whole lot of pain to figure out how to properly tax my income from this (I went through multiple accounting firms). Having good documentation would be really convenient.
