10 Grants are made subject to the Board being satisfied that the information given by the applicant is true and correct and that there has not been an omission of any relevant fact nor misrepresentation made. The Board retains the right to refuse to make payments to approved applicants in cases where it determines that it has been misled by the applicant or if the applicant has been placed in receivership or declared bankrupt.

Can You Have A Time Extension To Complete The Approved Activity?

Requests for up to one three month extension only can be made to the appropriate Board. Boards cannot consider requests for grants which have lapsed.

Can You Change The Composition or Amount of an Approved Grant?

Once a grant has been approved for a particular amount that amount may not be increased. Neither can new categories of expenditure be introduced. Boards may, however, consider requests for reallocation of expenditure between approved items. In making such requests, grant claimants will have to demonstrate that the overexpenditure on specific items has occurred because of unforeseen circumstances beyond their control.

If Your Application Is Declined Can You Appeal This Decision?

Applicants are able to lodge appeals for any applications which have been declined by a Board. Such applications should be lodged directly with the Minister of Business Development. Appeals will only be considered if they are received by the Minister within two months of the date of the decline letter from the Board.

Is The Grant Taxed?

The grant is GST inclusive therefore applications should be based on GST inclusive amounts.

If the applicant is registered for GST, the GST portion of the grant (one ninth) will have to be accounted for as output tax.

Make sure that GST is included in the cost breakdown on the application form. For goods and services which do not have GST added, such as wages, provision still has to be made for GST in the application, because this has to be paid on the grant to Inland Revenue.

If the applicant is not registered for GST, they will still have to pay GST on goods and services purchased during the investigation. Make sure therefore that provision is made for this in the application.

Section 169 of the Income Tax Act 1976 deals with grants such as these. Effectively the grant is not assessable income as such but, has the effect of reducing the costs which may be claimed for income tax purposes.
