In their own words · from the filing

Standard payment terms

You may invoice us for goods and/or services on or at any time after delivery or performance, unless otherwise stated in the Order. Each invoice must be a proper VAT invoice and: 1) quote the purchase number of the order, or the contract number; 2) show the period and the amount of the service for which payment is claimed; 3) show the charging rates and other details requested by us; 4) be accompanied by other information that we reasonable require; 5) be marked for the attention of the agreed Woodland Trust representative; 6) if the information fails to contain this information we will not be obliged to pay it. Otherwise we will pay a valid correct invoice within 30 days of receipt. If any sum under the contract is not paid when due, that sum will bear interest from the due date u

Dispute resolution

In the event of a dispute or complaint, Suppliers can contact the Accounts Payable Department by email or phone where a responsible officer will investigate, report and arrange for payment, where appropriate, as soon as possible. Any dispute that cannot be resolved with the Accounts Payable Department may be referred to the Trust's Legal Department.

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).
