Invoice Payment Practices

This information is as reported by the business, and responses are in their own words.

Payment Terms

Standard payment terms

W030 - 30 days after month end (due at the end of next month). Some contracts contain a fortnightly payment run clause that states Suppliers accept that BAT’s payment processing centres operate a fortnightly payment run system and that, if the due date for payment of the Valid Invoice falls after the fortnightly payment run day in the relevant week, the Valid Invoice will be paid on the following fortnightly payment run day. This clause is agreed with Suppliers as part of the contract negotiation process before it is implemented.

Were there any changes to the standard payment terms in the reporting period?
