How to apply for your voucher

If the address checker tells you that you are eligible for the R100 Scottish Broadband Voucher Scheme (SBVS), follow these steps:

2. Contact a supplier

You might need to contact more than one supplier to find the best option. If there are no suppliers in your area, check the full list of SBVS registered suppliers and the different technologies that might be available to you.

3. Discuss your options with the supplier

Ask the supplier about your options, including the cost of the service and any fees. The supplier must be able to offer you a faster broadband service that costs no more than £56.20 per month. You can choose to pay more if you want to.

4. Choose which service you want

At this point, you enter into a commercial contract with your supplier. The supplier will contact the Scottish Government with your details. You’ll then get an email from the Scottish Government.

5. Confirm your choice of supplier

You need to confirm your choice of supplier with the Scottish Government so they can approve your voucher funding and work can begin. Registered suppliers have up to 12 months to install a service.

6. Confirm your service is live

The Scottish Government will send you an email when your broadband service is live. You must reply to this so that your supplier can receive the voucher payment.

7. Reclaim any VAT

If you are a VAT registered business, your supplier can charge you for VAT on the costs that they incurred while connecting you. You should be able to reclaim this from HMRC.
