Other financial info
Our declaration of costs corresponds to the most recently closed financial year. The declaration of number of persons involved in the activities falling under the register reflects the current financial year. Any increase in costs would therefore only be reflected in the submission following the next closed financial year.
It is worth noting that the three people that are involved in activities falling under the register spend significantly below 10 percent of their working time on activities falling under the register. The FTE should therefore be less than 0.75. However, 25 percent is the minimum that can be chosen for the number of persons involved from the organisation expressed in percentage of working time. -
