As from 7th August 2002, businesses have the right to claim statutory Interest and reasonable debt recovery costs (Amended and Supplemented Late Payment of Debts Regulations 2002) from customers on late paid or overdue invoices. We have a list of
frequently asked questions on statutory interest if you are unsure whether you can claim it or not.
Statutory interest is currently set at 8% above the Bank of England base rate. In addition to this interest an amount of between £40 - £100
can be claimed to cover reasonable recovery costs dependent on the value of the principal amount outstanding.
When submitting an account to NetColl you will be asked if the amount being claimed includes statutory interest or not, NetColl does not automatically calculate this amount.
