Invoice Payment Practices

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

Payment Terms

Standard payment terms

V030 - Invoices are paid 30 days net from the invoice date. 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?

FSD UK will provide details such as status of invoices, date of payments and statement of account reconciliations. For any dispute related to the terms and conditions agreed, FSD UK will direct the suppliers to the relevant BAT personnel to obtain information about their query.
