# Manage billing across multiple tenants using associated billing tenants
15

-
You can simplify billing management for your organization by creating multi-tenant billing relationships using associated billing tenants. A multi-tenant billing relationship lets you securely share your organization’s billing account with other tenants, while maintaining control over your billing data. You can move subscriptions in different tenants and provide users in those tenants with access to your organization’s billing account. This relationship lets users on those tenants do billing activities like viewing and downloading invoices or managing licenses.

Primary billing tenant: The primary billing tenant is the tenant used when the billing account is set up. By default, all subscriptions are created in this tenant and only users from this tenant can get access to the billing account.

Associated billing tenants: An associated billing tenant is a tenant that is linked to your primary billing tenant’s billing account. You can move Microsoft 365 subscriptions to these tenants. You can also assign billing account roles to users in associated billing tenants.

> Adding associated billing tenants, moving subscriptions and assigning roles to users in associated billing tenants are only available for billing accounts of type Microsoft Customer Agreement that are created by working with a Microsoft sales representative. To learn more about types of billing accounts, see [Billing accounts and scopes in the Azure portal](view-all-accounts.md).
