When do I have to provide a certificate on financial statements in a FP7 project?

in FP7, every partner who receives more than 375.000 EUR or exactly 375.000 EUR funding has to give a certificate on financial statement (CFS). Together with the financial statement (Form C) which reaches the threshold of 375.000 EUR, the CFS has to be submitted. E.g. in the first period you receive 200.000 EUR funding – you need no CFS. In the second period you receive another 200.000 EUR funding – now you reached the threshold (as 400.000 EUR is more than 375.000 EUR), therefore you have to bring in a CFS.

Is it possible to use the overheads to cover VAT costs? Have overheads to be justified?

If you use the flat-rate, overheads do not need to be justified. If effectively money is left over after covering your overhead this can be used any way. This of course does not apply if you calculate the actual costs!ADIDAS
