What they tell their suppliers
In their own words · from the filing
Standard payment terms
W030 - Due at the end of next month. Some contracts contain a fortnightly payment run clause that states Suppliers accept that BAT’s payment processing centres operate a fortnightly payment run system and that, if the due date for payment of the Valid Invoice falls after the fortnightly payment run day in the relevant week, the Valid Invoice will be paid on the following fortnightly payment run day. This clause is agreed with Suppliers as part of the contract negotiation process before it is implemented.”
Dispute resolution
If suppliers have any queries related to invoices and payments they can contact [email protected], which acts as an information center. FSD UK will provide details such as status of invoices, date of payments and statement of account reconciliations. For any dispute related to the terms and conditions agreed, FSD UK will direct the suppliers to the relevant BAT personnel to obtain information about their query.

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).
