Invoices and payments

When do we pay our invoices?

The Council generally pays invoices within 30 days of receipt. Exceptions to these include SME’s (Small Medium Enterprises) who we are aiming to pay within 10 days of receipt, and other suppliers and providers who have negotiated and agreed a faster payment term. These may be seven, fourteen or twenty-one days etc.

Where should I send my invoice?

All invoices raised against an official order should be issued to:

Corporate Payments
Ground Floor
Municipal Offices
Cleveland Street
Birkenhead
Wirral
CH41 6BU
