Travel and accommodation cost should be properly documented in line with the national
legislation or internal policy of the partner organisation. In very exceptional cases
national rules concerning missing/lost documents may be accepted.
Audit trail
The following main documents must be available for control purposes:
1. Agenda or similar of the meeting/seminar/conference.
2. Paid invoices (e.g. hotel bills, travel tickets).
3. Daily allowance claims.
4. Proof of payment.
List of eligible and ineligible costs
An all-inclusive list of cost elements covered by the travel and accommodation category of costs
is provided in the Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 481/2014. The INTERACT Matrix of
costs presents further examples of costs eligible under this budget line. Examples of ineligible
costs are also listed. Please refer to the abovementioned documents.
Programme-specific conditions
Programmes may establish stricter rules regarding the choice of modes of transport, e.g.
they may decide that the cost of taxis is not eligible, etc.
Some programmes may decide to use the EC scale of hotel maximum rates and daily
subsistence as a reference, defining the maximum ceiling. The EC fixed rates can apply in
particular to partner organisations that do not have any rules in this area (national,
organisational). The EC daily subsistence covers breakfast, two main meals and local
transportation. If the rates are used, no extra local travel expenses are eligible. In
addition, the daily subsistence should foresee necessary reductions whenever costs of
selected meals are covered by hosting organisations (e.g. lunch or dinner costs).
