[Two departments: Encourage large automobile companies and their wholly-owned or controlled subsidiaries, especially leading enterprises, to pay accounts in cash to small and medium-sized enterprises within 60 days from the date of delivery of goods, projects, and services] On September 7, the General Office of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology and the General Office of the State Administration for Market Regulation issued a notice on promoting automobile companies to standardize supplier account payments and optimize account period management, which pointed out that small and medium-sized enterprises are given priority. Automobile companies are encouraged to complete payment to small and medium-sized enterprise suppliers within 30 days from the date of acceptance of goods, and within 60 days at the longest. All payments are encouraged to be made in cash. If the payment method is not specified in the contract, cash should be used to pay the accounts of small and medium-sized enterprises, and commercial bills or electronic vouchers of accounts receivable should not be used as substitutes for payment. Encourage large automobile companies and their wholly-owned or controlled subsidiaries, especially leading companies, to pay accounts to small and medium-sized enterprises in cash within 60 days from the date of delivery of goods, projects, and services. Automobile companies should establish and improve risk control and compliance management systems, and urge subsidiaries and assembly suppliers to pay small and medium-sized enterprise accounts in a timely manner. For the identity of small and medium-sized enterprises, you can check through the "Small and Medium-sized Enterprise Size Type Self-Assessment Mini Program" in the "Public Service Platform" module of the official website of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology. If there is a dispute about the size and type of small and medium-sized enterprises, you may apply for recognition to the comprehensive management department responsible for the promotion of small and medium-sized enterprises of the local people's government at or above the county level where the party claiming to be the small and medium-sized enterprise is located.
