The present invention provides a communication terminal, a billing apparatus, a service providing apparatus, and a program all of which operate when a service is provided via communications, to enable a billing process based on diversified billing rules to be accomplished without increasing loads on network facilities. A billing rule acquiring function 1011 of a communication terminal 100 receives a first billing rule for a communication charge required to distribute service information, from a billing server 200. The billing rule acquiring function 1011 receives, from a service providing server 300, metadata containing second billing information individually set for service information. A communication history recording section 106 records a communication history when service information is received via a communication network. A billing information generating section 110 generates billing information on provision of a service on the basis of the billing rule information and communication history.
