Standard payment terms
Our standard payment term is 30 days end of month (30 days EOM). Payments are made on the basis of 30 days end of month terms as standard. So an invoice dated 16/11/25 would be due for payment 31/12/25. This could stretch to 60 days
Were there any changes to the standard payment terms in the reporting period?
