In their own words · from the filing
Standard payment terms
It is Phonographic Performance Limited's policy to agree appropriate terms of payment with each supplier upon entering a new contract and the company is committed to abiding to the agreed terms where correct and undisputed invoices are submitted. A majority of payment terms are agreed at 30 days to coincide with Phonographic Performance Limited's monthly payment cycle.
Dispute resolution
Phonographic Performance Limited is committed to resolving disputed invoices in a fair and timely manner. Disputes are initially managed through discussions between the supplier and the Accounts Payable Assistant. If they cannot be resolved by the Accounts Payable Assistant for any reason, the disputes are then escalated to the relevant Head of Department for which the supply was intended for.

How UK payment reporting works
What is a Payment Practices Report?
What does "paid outside agreed terms" mean?
How often is this data updated?
Is this official government data?
How this is compiled. Built from official records only: Companies House and the gov.uk payment-practices service. The payment figures are self-reported — companies over the size threshold must file them by law and the board signs them off. No credit-agency data. The numbers are theirs; the plain-English read is ours. This is information compiled from public records under the Open Government Licence v3.0 — not a credit rating and not advice.
The 31-day comparison figure is the median across 6,104 companies with a current statutory report — every sector pooled, not an average of sector medians (how the figure is built).
