Feedback from small businesses on the Government's Duty-to-Report Regulations

The times it takes big businesses to pay their suppliers can vary drastically. But this information is public thanks to the government’s ‘Duty to Report’ regulations, which requires large companies to publish and report their payment terms every 6 months.

These regulations are now under threat of being weakened. The government is seeking to impose less regulation. Which means less transparency and less scrutiny on big businesses with poor payment practices.

The following questions have been issued by the government in their review of the regulations. Answer them and let the government know you support keeping these regulations, which help small businesses and hold bad payers to account.
