- As a Department, we charge 120% fEC for consultancy (i.e. higher than the cost of the work)
- If you are doing consultancy for a charity you can request permission from the Head of Department to charge 100% fEC (the full cost of the work)
- Consultancy is often VAT-able and you need to check whether 20% VAT should be added to any quotes; you the VAT team can advise on this. You should make clear whether the cost is inclusive or exclusive of VAT in communications with the funder
- Consultancy costs need to be approved and contracts need to be in place before undertaking the work; please allow time for this.

Please refer to the simple guidance on the Research Systems Support Hub wiki pages when costing consultancy; in E&G we would usually use costing Option 1. Research Support will need to edit the Worktribe template for you to make the Price to Funder reflect 120% fEC.
Research Support (environment-research@york.ac.uk) are the first point of contact if you wish to undertake consultancy, and will guide you through the internal process.
