How do we know if our centre will be charged for minimum threshold?
Each year we will issue an advisory letter to all centres which are liable for minimum threshold but which have not yet ordered in excess of the threshold amount.
Specific dates and values for the minimum threshold for that year will be confirmed at this stage, alongside the details of next steps if centres choose not to pay the ‘top-up invoice’.
There will also be an opportunity to apply for exemption prior to year end or to clarify any changes in existing business relationships.
We will also issue a year end statement and centres which remain below minimum threshold order value at year end will be issued a top-up invoice shortly after year end for the difference between their actual spend and the minimum threshold.
e.g. With a £5,000 minimum threshold, if a centre spends £200 on a qualification approval, £350 on Smartscreen, £3,800 on candidate fees, and £400 on an additional quality assurance visit, they will be invoiced the £250 difference (£200+£350+£3800+£400=£4,750) to the £5,000 threshold.
