Payment Terms
Standard payment terms
With respect to goods purchased for resale (GFR): Payment will be made by Boots in the weekly payment run that follows the 75th day (or following business day should this fall on a weekend or public holiday) after the end of the month of the later of: (i) the date of invoice; (ii) the date of receipt of a valid invoice; and (iii) the date on which we receive the relevant goods and services in full. Boots will make a deduction of 2.5% of the invoice value after VAT for payment made by that date. With respect to goods and services not for resale (GNFR): Boots standard settlement terms are 2.5% 105 days end of month.

Any other information about payment terms
The average payment days for Boots UK is 30 which is lower than the standard reported terms owing to: 1) The high volume of payments made to Group Companies, which are typically made on much shorter terms than third party suppliers and, 2) Suppliers on non-standard trading terms who have individually negotiated contracts.
