Trade Vendors:
TJX UK is committed to paying its invoices within agreed terms. In relation to trade vendors, we believe the majority of invoices that are not paid within the agreed terms are as a result of non-submission of an accurate invoice to TJX UK. TJX UK typically endeavours to contact vendors where goods have been received and we have not received a vendor’s invoice.
Non Trade Vendors:
TJX UK Standard payment terms for non-trade suppliers, other than rents, rates and utilities, are currently 60 days on satisfactory completion of the work and on receipt of an accurate and valid VAT invoice

Dispute resolution process
The main contact for queries or disputes relating to invoices will typically be the TJX UK Accounts Payable team. Vendors are generally required to send a copy of the invoice which is under dispute together with the relevant TJX UK Purchase Order number to support in the investigation of the query. Following investigation of the query, Accounts Payable will aim to resolve the vendor’s dispute within 5 working days.
