BUSINESS DEBT RECOVERY FEES

The Late Payment of Commercial Debts (Interest) Act 1998 and subsequent amendments is an Act enabling businesses to charge other business customers interest on overdue accounts and to obtain compensation on the debt recovery process. The Act extends to Scotland and Northern Ireland.

The UK Parliament and the EU have recognised the detrimental effects to small businesses and therefore the economy of poor payment and have amended the legislation several times since 1998. The most recent amendment came in 2013 when the provisions to allow the recovery costs of a third party to be claimed from the debtor.

Late Payment Compensation

Unpaid Debt                                    What you can charge

Up to £999.99                                     £40

£1,000 to £9,999.99                            £70

£10,000 or more                                 £100

You can cover the cost for doing so from that customer, as long as you adhere to the rules set out by the Late Payment Legislation.

The following is the Government’s own guidelines relating to what a late payment is, and what you can do about the cost of recovery.

When a payment becomes late

You can claim interest and debt recovery costs if another business is late paying for goods or a service.

If you haven’t already agreed when the money will be paid, the law says the payment is late after 30 days for public authorities and business transactions after either:

the customer gets the invoice.

You can agree a longer period for payments from one business to another – but if it’s longer than 60 days it must be fair to both parties.

Interest on late commercial payments

The interest you can charge if another business is late paying for goods or a service is ‘statutory interest’ – this is 8% plus the Bank of England base rate for business to business transactions. You can’t claim statutory interest if there’s a different rate of interest in a contract.
