Invoice Payment Practices

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

Payment Terms

Unless agreed otherwise, between James Walker & Co Ltd & the supplier, standard payment terms of 60 days from invoice date apply.

Any other information about payment terms

It is normal practice for James Walker & Co Ltd to make payments to third party suppliers once per week, this covers approved invoices that are due up to and including the date of payment. As a result of this payment practice invoices which fall due between payment dates are, by definition, overdue when paid. Though this is not written into formal contracts with suppliers, they are aware of this practice. Adjusting for the effect of weekly payments gives a figure of 10% of third party payments made outside of agreed terms. For third party payments made within the period, outside of agreed terms, the average number of days overdue is 6.

Maximum contractual payment period agreed

120
