in a police report
I am translating some Italian conversations between two people regarding formal payments. The term I am uncertain of is: t+3 in this phrase: "i pagamenti avvengono t + 3" which I suppose means "tra tre giorni" meaning "within/in", but I haven't seen this way of expressing the word "tra" before. Could someone please confirm - or refute - this meaning as I have not been able to find an answer in any dictionary. Many thanks Isobel

Comment: "Thanks for responding to my query and for confirming the intended meaning. Phil and others have made it clear that tra tre giorni is not the origin of t + 3, and I appreciate this clarification. Thanks to everyone for contributing your insights "
Discussion
Without context I can only speculate, but it could mean that the payment is split in 4 parts: one at "termine" and 3 later.
Anyway, nothing here shows that 3 means "three days", why not three weeks or three months?
