overview<\/span><\/h2>\n

The "Act to Amend Part of the Act on Prevention of Delay in Payment of Subcontracting Fees, etc. and the Act on Promotion of Small and Medium-Sized Enterprises in Subcontracting" was enacted on May 16, 2025, and promulgated on May 23 of the same year.
\n With this amendment, the name of the law, "Act on Prevention of Delays in Payment of Subcontracting Fees, etc.," will be changed to "Act on Prevention of Delays in Payment of Fees to Small and Medium-Sized Contractors in Manufacturing, etc." (abbreviated as: Act on Proper Transactions of Small and Medium-Sized Contractors, commonly known as: Subcontracting Act).
