The beneficiaries’ accounting and internal auditing procedures must permit direct reconciliation of the costs and revenue declared in respect of the action with the corresponding accounting statements and supporting documents. II.14.2 The eligible direct costs for the action are those costs which, with due regard for the conditions of eligibility set out in Article II.14.1, are identifiable as specific costs directly linked to the performance of the action and which can therefore be booked to it direct. In particular, the following direct costs are eligible provided that they satisfy the criteria set out in the previous paragraph: – the cost of staff assigned to the action, comprising actual salaries plus social security charges and other statutory costs included in the remuneration, provided that this does not exceed the average rates corresponding to the beneficiary’s usual policy on remuneration. The corresponding salary costs of personnel of national administrations are eligible to the extent that they relate to the cost of activities which the relevant public authority would not carry out if the project concerned were not undertaken; – travel and subsistence allowances for staff taking part in the action, provided that they are in line with the beneficiary’s usual practices on travel costs or do not exceed the scales approved annually by the Commission; – the purchase cost of equipment (new or second-hand), provided that it is written off in accordance with the tax and accounting rules applicable to the beneficiary and generally accepted for items of the same kind.

II.14.3 The eligible indirect costs for the action are those costs which, with due regard for the conditions of eligibility described in Article II.14.1, are not identifiable as specific costs directly linked to performance of the action which can be booked to it direct, but which can be identified and justified by the co-ordinator or a co- beneficiary using their accounting system as having been incurred in connection with the eligible direct costs for the action. They may not include any eligible direct costs. By way of derogation from Article II.14.1, the indirect costs incurred in carrying out the action may be eligible for flat-rate funding fixed at not more than 7% of the total eligible direct costs.

In this case, the value calculated for such contributions must not exceed: • the costs actually borne and duly supported by accounting documents of the third parties who made these contributions to the beneficiary free of charge but bear the corresponding costs; • the costs generally accepted on the market in question for the type of contribution concerned when no costs are borne. Contributions involving buildings shall not be covered by this possibility. In the case of co-financing in kind, a financial value shall be placed on the contributions and the same amount will be included in the costs of the action as ineligible costs and in receipts from the action as co-financing in kind. The beneficiaries shall undertake to obtain these contributions as provided for in the agreement.
