Standard payment terms
We have a wide range of terms depending the nature of supply and the relationship with our
suppliers.
Non-vehicle standard supplier payment terms are end of month following invoice date (e.g 15th May
invoice date paid 31st July), but we work with our suppliers on this and dependant on circumstances
and nature of supply may make payment at an earlier point.
New vehicle supplier payments are made in line with the manufacturer stocking plan with payment
typically being made within 3-5 days of registration of the vehicle or at end of stocking plan terms,
whichever is the sooner.
Were there any changes to the standard payment terms in the reporting period?

Were suppliers notified or consulted about these changes before they were made?
