Standard payment terms

Trade Vendors: TJX UK is committed to paying its invoices within agreed terms. In relation to trade vendors, we believe the majority of invoices that are not paid within the agreed terms are as a result of non-submission of an accurate invoice to TJX UK. TJX UK typically endeavours to contact vendors where goods have been received and we have not received a vendor’s invoice. Non Trade Vendors: TJX UK Standard payment terms for non-trade suppliers, other than rents, rates and utilities, are currently 60 days on satisfactory completion of the work and on receipt of an accurate and valid VAT invoice.

Dispute resolution

The main contact for queries or disputes relating to invoices will typically be the TJX UK Accounts Payable team. Vendors are generally required to send a copy of the invoice which is under dispute together with the relevant TJX UK Purchase Order number to support in the investigation of the query. Following investigation of the query, Accounts Payable will aim to resolve the vendor’s dispute within 5 working days.

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).
