Skonto

Skonto is a discount offered to buyers who pay their invoices within a specified time frame. For example, if you receive an invoice for 1,000 euros and pay it within 10 days, you might receive a 2% discount, meaning you only pay 980 euros.

For residents of Germany or Austria, it’s essential to pay attention to the deadlines for skonto, as the discount is only valid within a specific period. Missing this deadline means you must pay the full amount. This is typically outlined in contracts or invoices, and it’s advisable to refer to § 286 BGB, which deals with payment delays.
