New Bill of Costs – we are here to help

Mandatory implementation of the new electronic Bill of Costs is now only 4 months away!

Costs incurred after 6 April 2018 will have to be presented in the new format for virtually all multi-track bills. It is envisaged that the digital Excel format will facilitate automatic amendments and re-calculations.

Under the new process, each item of recorded time will need to be allocated with a phase code, task code and activity code, there are 14 phases, 41 tasks and 10 activities to choose from. Similarly, disbursements will need to be allocated into the same phases and tasks and then into one of 15 categories.
