Standard payment terms
Standard payment terms are 30 days from receipt of correct and fully supported Supplier invoice, in electronic format. Joint Venture invoices are paid on earlier contracted due dates – usually 10 working days, which is 14 days elapsed, this accounts for less than 1% of all our invoices paid.. Direct debit Supplier payments normally debit our bank account earlier than 30 days from invoice receipt. Supplier credit notes are paid/taken earlier, as soon as they can be offset against payments.
