What is statutory late payment interest?

Statutory late payment interest may be available on qualifying business-to-business debts where payment is late. The statutory rate is calculated by adding 8% to the relevant Bank of England base rate for the applicable reference period.

Why payment terms matter

Where there are no contracted payment terms, statutory payment terms of 30 days may apply from the date the invoice was received. Where there are agreed contractual payment terms, those terms may affect when the invoice becomes overdue.

Late payment compensation

In addition to statutory interest, fixed late payment compensation may be recoverable depending on the size of the unpaid debt.

Debt sizeFixed late payment compensation
Up to £999.99£40
£1,000 to £9,999.99£70
£10,000 or more£100

Late payment is often a recovery warning sign

An unpaid invoice should not sit unresolved. Delay can affect cash flow, weaken commercial leverage and increase the time spent chasing payment.
