Method for calculating discounted net revenue
Article 15
1. For the purposes of the application of the method referred to in point (b) of the first subparagraph of Article 61(3) of Regulation (EU) No 1303/2013, the discounted net revenue of the operation shall be calculated by deducting the discounted costs from the discounted revenue and, where applicable, by adding the residual value of the investment. 2. The discounted net revenue of an operation shall be calculated over a specific reference period applicable to the sector of that operation as set out in Annex I. The reference period shall include the implementation period of the operation. 3. Revenues and costs shall be determined by applying the incremental method based on a comparison of revenue and costs in the scenario of the new investment with the revenues and costs in the scenario without the new investment. Where an operation consists of a new asset, the revenues and costs shall be those of the new investment. 4. Where value added tax is not an eligible cost according to Article 69(3)(c) of Regulation (EU) No 1303/2013, the calculation of discounted net revenue shall be based on figures excluding value added tax.
