Eligible for the Program are the receipts of expenses, including the receipts of project consultant remuneration expenses, and elaboration of technical studies, as well as the paid receipts related to payment of energy inspector, Electronic Building Identity, insurance contributions paid, insurance contributions and purposes of each project after the start date of eligibility of the Beneficiary's application and within the contractual implementation time. All expenditure documents of the implemented interventions must have a date earlier or at most identical to the date of issuance of the RDP of the second energy inspection. Receipts of expenditures of implemented interventions bearing a date later than the date of issuance of the 2nd PEA are accepted provided that they are accompanied by consignment notes issued before the date of issuance of the specific PEA.
For the implementation of the interventions (supply of equipment / materials and execution of works) are issued the Retail Transactions documents provided by the current legislation and in particular the Code of Tax Representation of Transactions (KFAS, Subparagraph E.1, Paragraph E / Article 2012 of Law 40), Government Gazette A'222, 12/11/2012), as amended and valid each time. In this context the following documents are acceptable:
- Retail Proof or equivalent under the KFAS document on credit, for the supply of equipment / materials in the name of the beneficiary. This document must state in detail:
- the retail selling price for each item sold (materials, components, etc.),
- the full details of the beneficiary (mandatory the full address of the property of the affiliation decision),
- the technical characteristics of the equipment (eg make, model, power, type of materials, measures, pieces, etc.), in order to be able to include the expenditure in the categories of table 4.1.1 of the section "Interventions" sub- section "Grant" paragraph "Eligible Intervention Budget" and to ensure compliance with the minimum requirements of K.EN.A.K. The unit of measurement that corresponds to each intervention (square meters, piece, etc.) must be indicated.
- Proof of Provision of Services or equivalent under the KFAS document on credit, for the studies, services, or installation work of the equipment in the name of the beneficiary (or the representative in the case of an apartment building). This document must state in detail:
- the type (placement, study, etc.) and the value of the work,
- the full details of the beneficiary (mandatory the full address of the property of the affiliation decision).
In case that a contractor / supplier issues a retail sale receipt or an equivalent document based on the KFAS where it is not possible to indicate the above-mentioned data per tax document, he also submits a Responsible Declaration in which he mentions in detail, per document, the above data.
VAT (24%) is an eligible expense for the Program and is stated separately in the documents. If suppliers are subject to a reduced VAT regime or are exempt from the obligation to file a tax return, the applicable VAT amount must be declared. In any case, the ceilings of eligible costs before VAT 24% apply.
Expenditure receipts should only come from one supplier / contractor per cost category, where technically feasible.
In case of an apartment building application, different documents are issued for each apartment that relate exclusively to non-communal interventions and different documents, per type of expenditure, for the communal interventions with the indication "apartment building management".
Documents should only include equipment, materials and services related to interventions eligible for the program (should not include items sold and services not related to the program).
It is pointed out that in the event that payments are made with own funds (non-borrowing, exceeding of eligible intervention budget, exceeding ceilings of fees - energy inspector, etc.), these should be made exclusively through the banking system.
It is pointed out that the expenditure documents should, in the profession data of the recipient of the document, have the indication "individual".
All of the above eligible documents submitted within the partial completion deadline, must be repaid and do not exceed the total required Equity and advances (loan / grant) received.
Those of the above eligible documents submitted within the total deadline for completion, must be paid (if the amount of advances has not been covered by the documents of partial completion) and on credit (for the remaining amount of the grant).
The set of documents (paid and on credit) should correspond to the cost of the project.
In order to reimburse the expenses incurred under the program, the provisions of the current laws and regulations governing the framework for conducting transactions and imposing any restrictions on them will be taken into account. In any case, transactions with cash payment and without banking system are not eligible. In case of payment of expenses by credit card, a supporting document must be presented that documents the payment of the expense. The following are not accepted:
- Payments made by the beneficiary, with the exception of the payment of the energy inspector, the Electronic Identity, insurance contributions, the payment of own funds and the advance payment of the grant (all through the banking system).
- Tax items issued before the eligibility start date, regardless of whether they are paid later.
- Reimbursement of expenses in cash or by using third party checks.
- Payments made in a manner and with documents that do not comply with the applicable laws and regulations, which regulate the framework for transactions and the introduction of any restrictions on them.
Expenditure documents that will not be issued in accordance with the above, will not be accepted and the relevant costs will not be considered eligible for the Program.
Please note that upon completion of the work:
- If in the final eligible intervention costs the Equity paid is higher than required, then in order to pay the remaining amount of the grant in addition to the advance, the excess amount is required to be refunded. Otherwise, the final amount of the grant is to be reduced.
- In case of a loan, if the amount of the loan that will be proportional to the final eligible intervention costs is less than the loan advance disbursed, the repayment of the excess amount is required with the care of the beneficiary, in order to be able to disburse the other incentives, as it is not permissible to use a grant amount to repay the loan.
In any case, the responsibility for the return of the excess amount lies with the Beneficiary.
