Standard payment terms

We aim to settle all invoices within the agreed standard payment terms, whenever possible. Where available advantage is taken of early settlement discount explaining why the average time to pay is less than the shortest standard payment period. The figure reported for invoices due but not paid within terms includes certain invoices which are not able to be included in a payment run within the agreed terms e.g. invoices received late, invoices where a query needs to be resolved with the supplier etc. These invoices will be scheduled for the next available payment run. The figure for invoices paid within 14 days of the agreed payment date is 96%.
