In their own words · from the filing

Standard payment terms

The percentages provided in the payment statistics above include payments made to Vodafone Group entities providing goods or services to Vodafone Global Enterprise Limited. Vodafone intercompany payment terms include many transactions with payment terms up to 115 days. These payments are included in our reported statistics as required and this therefore impacts the payment statistics. If intercompany payments are excluded from the statistics, they are as follows: Average time to pay in days – 25 Split of payments made under qualifying contracts in the reporting period A) Percentage of invoices paid between day 1 and day 30 (inclusive) – 94% B) Percentage of invoices paid between day 31 and day 60 (inclusive) – 5% C) Percentage of invoices paid on or after day 61 – 1% Payments

Dispute resolution

Any disputes on individual invoices should be raised to the Vodafone Accounts Payable team via our Supplier Digital Portal (http://supplier.ariba.com/) who will work with the supplier to resolve the issue. The supplier will generally receive a response the next day but we aim to respond to all queries within 5 working days. Vodafone Global Enterprise Limited does not currently have a process which records the percentage of payments not made within the payment period as a result of a dispute. As we are unable to accurately report our position, we have entered 0% whilst we work towards correcting this for future submissions.

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 6,104 companies with a current statutory report — every sector pooled, not an average of sector medians (how the figure is built).
