Interest will be charged at 4% above base rate on any outstanding amounts after 30 days from date of invoice, in accordance with the Late Payment of Commercial Debts (Interest) Act 1998, until payment in full has been made (a part of a month being calculated as a full month for the purpose of calculating interest.)
