Standard payment terms
KPMG UK plc is a trading entity for KPMG in the UK.
To demonstrate the ongoing commitment to fair and prompt payment, KPMG have made a change to standard payment terms, so that payment of third party invoices for goods and services will now be made within 30 days of receipt of a correct, undisputed and properly due VAT invoice. This is a reduction from the previous 60 day timescale and will apply unless otherwise agreed in writing by a duly authorised representative.
As has always been our procedure, and in line with KPMG’s corporate values, where the supplier is deemed to be a Small or Medium sized Entity (SME) the Standard payment terms remain at 30 days from receipt of a correct, undisputed and properly due VAT invoice.
KPMG UK plc will also settle money owed to other international KPMG member firms through ‘inter office payments’. The Standard payment terms in respect of other KPMG member firms is 60 days from receipt of a correct, undisputed and properly due VAT invoice, again unless otherwise agreed in writing by a duly authorised representative. The figures quoted above exclude 'inter office payments'.
