When applying for the subsidy, you must submit an auditor's report if you have received an advance payment of €100,000 or more or if the total subsidy is €125,000. If you have received an advance payment of €20,000 or more, or if the total subsidy is €25,000 or more, you must submit an expert third party report. If you are below this threshold, you do not need to submit a declaration.
The final determination of the NOW 1.0 grant can be applied for from 7 October 2020. If an auditor's report must be submitted, you must submit the application within 38 weeks of 7 October 2020. If you have to submit an expert third party report, this deadline is 24 weeks.
For NOW 2.0 this can be requested from 15 November 2020. If you have to submit an auditor's report, you have 38 weeks after 15 November 2020 to do so. If the selected turnover period ends after 15 November, you must submit the application within 38 weeks of the end of the turnover period. In case of a third party expert opinion, this period is 24 weeks.
It is possible to submit the application for the determination of the subsidy for NOW 1.0 and NOW 2.0 simultaneously after 15 November 2020. After your application for a final decision, the UWV has 52 weeks to decide on your application.
