The customer pays net.


Explanation:
This could refer to a standard term of payment, where "net" means XXX days from the date of invoice, such as "30 days net".


If it were to refer to the fact that the customer pays "net" ("net price") as opposed to "gross", the same would still apply, ie the translation would not change.

  • The net price, the actual price a customer should pay, is calculated as: Net Price = Marked Price + Tax Amount
