Payments to Suppliers

When are payments made to suppliers?

NUI Galway pays its suppliers fortnightly by EFT (electronic funds transfer).  

Schedule of Payments for 2023

With invoice scanning now in place, the majority of Supplier Invoices must be approved on line via Agresso tasks.  It is the Budget Holder's and Nominee's responsibility to ensure that these tasks are actioned and invoices approved in a timely manner.

Disputed Invoices

Where a School/Discipline/Unit has a dispute in relation to an invoice or delivery, the unit which has made the purchase should contact the supplier directly to raise the query.

Tax Clearance Requirements

In accordance with instructions issued by the Minister for Finance, NUI Galway, as a statutory body is obliged to seek a Tax Clearance Certificate each year in respect of each supplier to whom we make payments amounting in total to €10,000.00 or more.  This applies to both resident and non-resident suppliers. 

Payments held awaiting Tax Clearance Certificates will be paid in the next scheduled payment run following receipt of such certificates.
