Frequently asked questions

What does “30 days from statement” mean?

Many South African businesses send a statement at month end; payment is due 30 days after it. Every invoice from one month falls due on the same day.

Can I charge interest when an invoice is late?

Business clients owe interest at the prescribed rate unless you agreed another. Consumers only if they accepted it upfront.

Does 30 days count weekends?

Yes: payment terms count calendar days. If the due date falls on a weekend or public holiday, many clients pay on the next business day.
