The Cyprus Energy Office clarifies that the requirement to provide a value added tax (VAT) number when submitting applications to the "Grant Scheme for Strengthening the Resilience and Adaptation of Communities to Climate Change» (see Section 11.1 of Project Guide) applies to potential beneficiaries who fall within the requirements of the Value Added Tax Law of 2000 (95(I)/2000) Law. For Community Councils, which, based on Part III and article 31 of the Law, are not subject to tax due to negligible transactions, they may provide a relevant certificate from the Taxation Department that they are not required to register for VAT.

The Grant Scheme is included in the National Recovery and Resilience Plan (NRS) and is financed by the Recovery and Resilience Mechanism (RSM) of the European Union (Next Generation EU), with a total budget of €2.900.000. The Grant Scheme is coordinated by the Cyprus Energy Office, with the support of the Union of Cyprus Communities. More at https://communities-adapt.cea.org.cy/
