Terms & Conditions – EU Late Payments Regulations
EU Late Payment Regulations:
It is possible for a contract to provide for a rate of interest on sums of money that are overdue. Provided that this is not a penalty, it will be generally enforceable. The contract should specify the rate either as a percentage or with reference to an underlying base rate. It is necessary to specify whether the rate is chargeable as simple interest or as compound interest. If interest compounds, it is necessary to set the time (the rests) at which it is compounded. The European Communities (Late Payment in Commercial Transactions) Regulations 2012 give effect to an EU directive providing common European Union rules on interest on the late payment of commercial accounts and debts. They repeal earlier 2002 regulations. The regulations apply both to the public and private sector.
The regulations apply to a commercial transaction. This is a transaction between businesses and with a public authority. A transaction may be for the provision of services or delivery of goods for payment or other reward.
Late Payment II:
Where the contract does not specify a date or period for payment, but a procedure for acceptance or verification by which conformity of the goods is to be ascertained is provided by law or under the contract, and the purchaser receives an invoice earlier than or on the date for such acceptance or verification, the date falls 30 days after such verification or acceptance.
Where a contract specifies a date for payment, this is the relevant date. Where, however, the date is more than 60 days from the date of delivery of the goods or the provision of the service, the date must be expressly stated in the contract and must not be unfair to the supplier. This has been restated in amended terms above for contracts made after 25th May 2016.
Where an invoice is sent by post or electronic transmission, it is deemed received in the normal course of post or in the normal course of that transmission service, unless the contrary is shown.
The right to interest on late payment continues to apply notwithstanding that the benefit of the payment may be assigned to a third party.
Implied Term for Interest:
It is an implied term of every commercial transaction that where the purchaser does not pay for
the goods or services by the above payment date as defined, the supplier is to be entitled to interest. This is “statutory late interest”. It is not necessary to serve a reminder of the amount due or outstanding under the contract or of the amount of interest.
The entitlement to late interest arises on the amount outstanding at the relevant date and ends on the date of payment. The right is available provided that the supplier is not in default.
Unless the contract provides otherwise, the statutory late sum is to be the amount of interest charged by the ECB as its main refinancing rate and so specified at the beginning of the half-yearly period (the preceding 1st January or 1st June), plus 8%. This is currently 8.25% ((0.25% +8) %; (June 2017). The reference rate is published periodically and applies for the period specified by law.
Additional Compensation for Late Payment:
It is implied term in commercial transactions that where statutory late payment interest becomes payable, the supplier is entitled without the necessity for a reminder, in addition to the statutory interest for late payment, to a fixed sum amount of compensation towards or for the relevant recovery costs incurred as a consequence of late payment. The supplier need not give evidence of having incurred any such costs or expenses.
The amount of fixed compensation is set under the regulations and may be varied. In respect of
– amounts less than €1000, it is €40;
– amounts of €1000 to €10,000, it is €70;
– amounts over €10,000, it is €100.
The supplier, in addition to the fixed sum referred to above, is entitled to obtain reasonable compensation for any recovery cost exceeding the fixed sum and incurred due to the purchaser’s late payment. This may include expenses incurred in instructing a lawyer or employing a debt collection agency.
