V.A.T.

• Budget must be prepared without VAT;

• Keep in mind that you might need financial resources to cover VAT in advance;

• VAT EXEMPTION to be claimed on reasonable amounts

(as per instructions of the CA);

• Procedure defers from one country to another.

Exchange Rate

• Old PRAG used average Inforeuro exchange rate of summarised invoices for the reporting period;

• New PRAG uses actual bank exchange rate applied;

As this proved to be the issue and sometimes big loss for beneficiaries with double currency accounts:

• Current option explored is to use monthly Inforeuro exchange;

• Check with your CAs what applies to your contracts.

Indirect costs (2)

(category 8)

These costs are claimed as indirect costs and:

• They are calculated as a fixed rate of the total amount of direct eligible costs

(categories 1 to 6). Category 8 is also used in budget, but not in actual

expenditure, as explained in previous slide;

• The flat rate does not need to be supported by accounting documents;

• It is incompatible with the receipt of an operating grant from EC by the

beneficiary or partners, that is, if the beneficiary or partner is receiving a grant

to finance its “regular operating costs”, no additional administrative costs can

be accepted as eligible, as it would be double funding.

case of unforeseeable circumstances and with prior approval by the CA.

• The request for its use has to indicate which categories of expenditure (1 to 6) will need

extra resources.

• Cannot be used for correcting mistakes in project design.

• The reallocation will be shown in the financial report and no accounting entries will be found
