  11. Legislation

    If this grant is awarded for up to 12 months, it is awarded as an exempted subsidy under the UK Subsidy Control framework, scheme SC10292.
    If it is awarded for more than 12 months, it is awarded as a Minimum Financial Assistance (MFA) subsidy under the Subsidy Control Act (2022), subject to your agreement to, and compliance with, the terms and conditions set out below. Before making the payment, we require written confirmation that receipt of the payment will not exceed your MFA threshold of £315,000 cumulated over this and the previous two financial years, as specified in section 36(1) of the Subsidy Control Act (2022). This means you must confirm you have not received more than £315,000 minus the value of the subsidy in MFA subsidies or comparable types of subsidy (see section 42(8) of the Subsidy Control Act) between 1 April [year beginning the calculation period] and this date. By signing the Part 2, you are providing written confirmation, for and on behalf of your company, that receipt of MFA will not exceed your company’s MFA threshold specified in section 36(1) of the Subsidy Control Act (2022).
    We take this opportunity to remind you that you are required to keep a written record of the amount of MFA you have received and the date/s when it was received. The written record must be kept for at least three years beginning with the date on which the MFA was given. This will enable you to respond to future requests from public authorities on how much MFA you have received and whether you have reached the cumulative threshold.

  12. Agreement

    By signing the Part 2, you are agreeing to the above Terms and Conditions.
