Implement
During the implementation of your leader project, it is important to follow the project plan. The decision is based on the application with the project plan and budget; any deviations from these must be reported to the leader office.
Implement leader projects – keep this in mind!
When you have received your support approved, what you need to know is in your decision from the Swedish Board of Agriculture. Read your decision on support carefully!
If you start your project before you have received your decision on support, it is important that you still follow the rules that apply to the support. Otherwise, it may happen that your support decreases or that you do not receive any support at all.
Report expenses
- Report the expenses separately in your accounting.
- You can only receive support for expenses that have invoice dates and payment dates from the day you submitted your application for support.
- Proof of payment is required for all invoices. The proof of payment must show that it is you, as the support recipient, who has paid.
Inform about the project
Inform and use the correct logo. On the website, in your social media, and in all other informational material related to the investment or project, you must include an EU logo. The EU logo consists of the EU flag along with text. The EU logo must always be visible and have a prominent place.
Additional information can be found at jordbruksverket.se as well as in your decision on support.
Apply for a change
Apply for a change to your decision if something changes. For example, end date, timeline, budget, financing plan, or any other significant matter. You do not need to apply for a change to your decision on support if you replace one activity or expense with another equivalent activity or expense.
Contact the operational office if you are unsure whether you need to make an application for a change or not. You should send your application for a change to us.
Apply for payment
To receive your support paid out, you need to apply for payment. If you want to receive money in advance, you can apply for an advance payment, and if you want to receive part of the money before everything is completed, you can apply for one or more partial payments. The last application for payment that you submit must be an application for final payment.
Advance
You apply for an advance in the Swedish Board of Agriculture's e-service. You can receive up to 50 percent of your support in advance from the Swedish Board of Agriculture, but no more than 250,000 kronor. You also apply for advances from Leader Skellefteå Älvdal.
Partial payment
You can apply for partial payment multiple times. All documentation from the period you are applying for partial payment for must be included in the application, and you must have paid all expenses. You apply for partial payment in the Swedish Board of Agriculture's e-service. You can receive support for personnel costs, indirect costs, other costs, and investments.
