In their own words · from the filing

Standard payment terms

Suppliers of goods and services to the Company that contract on our General Terms and Conditions are offered 60 day payment terms from the invoice date. Authorised invoices will be paid on the weekly supplier payment run for the week which is closest to 60 days after the invoice date. This may result in payments being received after the agreed number of days due to due to such payment date falling prior to the weekly payment run. A copy of our General Terms and Conditions can be found on our website (https://www.total.co.uk/standard-conditions-sale-and-purchase). The invoices that have not been paid within the agreed terms is due principally to those being received late or being disputed.

Dispute resolution

In the event that a dispute arises and cannot be resolved by our Accounts Payable team, it would be escalated in the first instance to the Review Committee (comprising of members from both the Company and the supplier). If the Review Committee is unable to resolve the dispute, the matter shall be escalated to senior representatives from each Company. If after 30 days, the dispute remains unresolved the matter shall be referred to the Managing Directors of both parties. If no resolution is reached by this stage, either party may issue court proceedings. For detailed information, please refer to Article 27 of the General Terms and Conditions.

How UK payment reporting works

What is a Payment Practices Report?

UK companies and LLPs above a size threshold — broadly, two of: turnover over £54m, balance sheet over £27m, or more than 250 employees — must report twice a year, under the Reporting on Payment Practices and Performance Regulations 2017, how quickly they actually pay suppliers: the average time to pay, the share of invoices paid in 30 days or fewer, 31 to 60 days and 61 days or longer, and their standard payment terms. Those thresholds apply to financial years beginning on or after 6 April 2025; for earlier financial years they were £36m and £18m, with the same 250-employee test.

What does "paid outside agreed terms" mean?

The share of invoices paid later than the terms in the supplier contract. If terms are 30 days and an invoice is paid on day 45, it counts as paid outside terms, regardless of the headline average.

How often is this data updated?

Each report covers a six-month period and must be filed within 30 days of that period ending, so a company's record refreshes roughly twice a year. PaidLate re-reads the register as new reports are filed.

Is this official government data?

The underlying payment figures come from the company's own statutory filings on the gov.uk payment-practices service; company-status data comes from Companies House. PaidLate calculates trends, comparisons and summaries from those records. It does not use surveys or credit-agency scores.

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 6,185 companies with a current statutory report — every sector pooled, not an average of sector medians (how the figure is built).
