LEG billing
How is a LEG billed?
The quarter-hourly values come from your grid operator. LegLink turns them into the billing of your local electricity community (LEG) at the same rhythm, monthly, quarterly or yearly: a QR-bill per member, payment reconciliation, accounting under CO 957 and tax certificates.
The process
Four steps to an invoice.
- 01
The metering data arrives
Automatically from the grid operator, per member and quarter hour, separated into consumption and feed-in.
- 02
The energy split is adopted
What the grid operator determined is what counts. An energy split the LEG agreed with it specifically is adopted as well.
- 03
Invoice per member
The LEG-internal electricity at the agreed LEG tariff, plus the advance payment towards the running costs of the LEG.
- 04
QR-bill and dispatch
Members receive an invoice with a Swiss QR code. Whoever feeds in more than they draw receives a credit note.
After the invoice
A LEG is a partnership and needs bookkeeping.
The billing period is not over when the invoice goes out. What comes next happens in the same place.
Payment reconciliation
Import bank statements, match incoming payments to invoices, see open items, send reminders.
Accounting under CO 957
Every business action creates its entry. The journal is complete and traceable, and the partners' contributions sit in capital accounts.
Period lock
After the annual closing the period is shut, with no back door. The Swiss bookkeeping ordinance requires it. Corrections run through the following year.
Tax certificate
Per member and year, the income from selling electricity and the share of assets as at 31 December. Exactly the two figures the tax return asks for.
