Changes along the way for SkatteFUNN projects

This page covers:

• Changes in the main objectives or content of the project
• Change of organisation number or transfer of the project to a new company
• Extend the project? No, you must apply again
• Change of contact persons on "My page"
• Change of contact persons on "My RCN web" 

Changes in the main objectives or content of the project

If there are changes in the project that affect the main goal/sub-goal or the content of the project, you must contact the case officer. This must also be reported via the status report and the final report.

Change of organisation number or transfer of the project to a new company

The approval of an R&D project through SkatteFUNN is linked to the organisation number that was provided when the application was submitted. If the approval is linked to the wrong organisation number, the Tax Administration will not be able to meet the claim for a deduction for the expenses in the R&D project.

If the organisation number is no longer correct, you must

1. Cancel the project on the logged-in site
2. Submit a final report
3. Submit a new application

If the project is to be transferred to a new company, you must submit a new application with an updated organisation number. The new application must only be about what remains of the project – not what you have already received a tax deduction for. The application must be submitted in the same year as the change takes place and well in advance of the New Year.

The new application will not be processed until the final report for the originating project has been submitted.

Extend the project? No, you must apply again

If it says that R&D activities will take place in the project after the approval period has ended, submit the final report as planned. Afterwards, you can submit a new application describing the activities that are included in the R&D project.

The new application will receive an independent assessment and will be processed in the usual way. The Research Council will not automatically grant a new approval of the project.

For example: If the project is approved for 2020 and 2021, they must apply again for the R&D activities that are listed after the final report has been submitted in 2022. Note that the applicant company cannot be a company in difficulty at the time of the decision. The new application will not be processed until the final report for the originating project has been submitted.

Change of contact persons and roles on "My page"

The information below applies to all SkatteFUNN projects

If you need to change people or update contact information for the roles in the project, the people with the role of project manager or organization representative on the project must change this from My Project, in My Page.

It is important that the right person is added to the roles and that the contact information for the roles in the project is correct. We send out various notifications by e-mail to those listed with the roles of project manager and organisation representative, including reporting deadlines for the project.

Important with the right information in the new role

When you add a new person with a role in an application or in a project, it is important that the email and phone number you provide for the role are the same as the person uses or will use to log in to My page. The system sends invitations based on the information you enter, and it only works if the system finds the same combination of phone and email for a user. Once the person has accepted the role invitation, the project will be linked to the person's user account, and they will be free to change their login information without losing access to the project.

Please note that the user accounts on My page are personal, and that we require verification by e-mail and SMS to create a user and log in. The person who is going to log in must have access to both the email and the phone number, and the phone must be able to receive SMS with verification codes.

Change of contact persons on "My RCN web" is no longer possible

All SkatteFUNN projects on the Research Council's old login, My RCN web, were moved to the new system, My page, in mid-February 2025. The function to update the "applicant-role" on the project in My RCN web is no longer available (closed fom. February 12, 2025).

From now on, all new reporting and updates of your approved project will be carried out in My page – see the section above.
