Payment moves through a chain of distinct obligations. Record the owner’s receipt of the proper invoice and each actual payment separately.
Prompt-payment framework in force
Scope comes before calculation.
The prompt-payment provisions began on 1 March 2022. Contract transition rules and exclusions matter; an old contract is not automatically brought into the regime by a new invoice.
The owner’s deadlines appear in section 5.4. Lower-tier notices have their own triggers and requirements; an owner’s notice does not serve as a contractor’s notice.
