Wales Farm Business Grants....

What do you mean by 'pro forma' invoice? I'm sure the guy at Aber said, the machine didn't have to be delivered or paid for. He said an invoice was all that was needed. Didn't he????

Sure you need delivered and invoice then apply for funds according to terms machine needs to be there for inspection before payment by rpa if they wish

 

[d williams]

Should be fine

We know delivery of ours wont be till late June/July , invoice now in april will mean we can have the vat back and hopefully the grant before paying

Have a read of terms sure items need to be delivered within timescales of the window of applications

Well yes I suppose but the guy at Aber said you only needed the invoice...

Ask him to put it in writing for you
Think you have 120days from the go ahead I'd press for delivery within those timescales to be safe

My main item should get delivered in a month, the other two items are in stock. As for getting it in writing, I can't even remember his name but I remember everyone was amazed when he said you only needed am invoice and didn't need to have taken delivery or paid for the goods.

Rory Wilson I think was the guy , may well send him an e mail next week.
There is no mention of delivery in the contract we have here, no delivery notes needed just invoiced
Perhaps as belt and braces what neilo says would help..

A supplier told me that he had been informed that an invoice with a covering letter explaining the delivery date would do. Any inspection then wouldn't be until after the delivery date. There's no way that everything is going to get made and delivered in the timescale required IMO, especially now a lot of the items are on the English scheme too, all coming from a limited number of suppliers.

Might be worth checking that with the scheme management and getting it in writing though.

Wording from contract mention date machine is "bought".
vii) The Beneficiary's claim may be selected for inspection before or after the payment has
been made. All the details in the beneficiary's application, the details in the claim and the
declarations that were made in submitting the application and claim will be checked at
inspection. This will include a check on the business turnover figure, the dates on which
the equipment was bought, who the invoice or invoices were made out to and the
specification of the equipment (where appropriate).

When is it bought ?

On invoice or on payment of that invoice, after all title to goods generally remains with the vendor until payment in full is made. No mention made of delivery!

You need both I'm sure to apply for funds and for them to inspect if they wish to
I held off applying until I received both maybe they changed rules for third round as a new department are processing
I applied for monies at the change over point communication was not good no receipts to emails waiting a long time for reply had money but was a few uncomfortable few days as was in the last week because of waiting on delivery of machine
