What the scheme covers
Operations or expenditure mentioned: costs of the furnished holiday let classification audit. Not eligible: costs of any advice or support services for classification; invoices paid before Clermont Auvergne Métropole has acknowledged receipt of the complete application. Do not treat any expenditure as eligible without written confirmation from the funder, especially if it has already been committed or invoiced.
Amount and funding terms
Amount indicated in the catalogue: a grant of 60% of the price excluding VAT of the furnished holiday let classification audit, capped at €140 per application and per applicant (classification of up to 4 furnished holiday lets can be requested in the same application).
