MAIN NOVELTIES ON ELIGIBILITY OF EXPENDITURE
•
Simplified costs options:
–
Overheads = flat rate
–
Preparation costs = lump sum
•
Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) No 481/2014
–
5 Budget Lines
Staff costs
Office and administrative expenditure
Travel and accommodation costs
External expertise and services costs
Equipment expenditure
–
Exhaustive list of eligible expenditures for each Budget Line
–
Sub-Budget Lines not to be created
–
General principles of expenditures allocated under each Budget Line
Eligibility of expenditure starts on the date of the project approval
TRAVEL COSTS OF PERSONS OUTSIDE OF THE
PARTNER STAFF
External expertise and services providers
Associated partners
In-house companies staff
Invited speakers, chairperson of meetings
Highly recommended : travel and accommodations costs directly
borne by the partner organisation. If not, partner must prove the
reimbursement of those expenditures to external experts.
ALL general principles and audit trail of expenditures allocated
under travel and accommodation budget line MUST be respected.
Main difficulties in building the project budget
1st call of projects
Main difficulties
:
•
Staff costs vs. Costs of external experts
•
Changes in staff bring along changes in administrative costs
•
Cost category equipment => pay attention to the sub-
categories
•
In house companies
•
Budget Lines or WP without any Budget
Be carefull: No budget modification is allowed during
the first year of project implementation!
GOOD THINGS TO DO
•
Read carefully the
Programme Manual
and the specific
ToR
•
Use the «
list of administrative and eligibility criteria
» and the
specificities
of the call to check your proposal
•
If your organization is already on the Synergie database, use the
same register
•
Double check all documents uploaded and their content
•
In case of doubt, please contact the
Joint Secretariat
