Wijziging van Boek 6 van het Burgerlijk Wetboek in verband met het verkorten van de wettelijke betaaltermijn tot 30 dagen

This Dutch bill amends Book 6 of the Civil Code, the part of Dutch law that governs contracts and obligations. Its stated aim is to shorten the statutory payment term to 30 days. The statutory payment term is the default deadline for paying invoices when the parties have not agreed a different one. Based on the title alone, the bill is about speeding up payment between businesses and possibly other parties. This summary is based on metadata only, not the full legislative text. Businesses that sell goods or services on credit, especially small and medium-sized enterprises that depend on timely payment, would likely be affected. Buyers who pay invoices would also be subject to the new default deadline. The exact scope and exceptions can only be confirmed from the full bill text.
