What the EDGE grant does not cover
For pre-approved software, the EDGE grant does not cover GST, maintenance, software beyond the first 12 months, anything you paid or started before applying, or a project already funded under PSG. Vendors are not allowed to offer rebates, cashback or free items to win the deal.

Does the EDGE grant cover laptops?
Laptops and general-purpose hardware are not a pre-approved digital solution category. Be careful with offers of a "free laptop with grant": vendors of pre-approved solutions are not allowed to offer rebates, gifts or extra items to win a deal.
Is GST covered?
No. GST is listed as a non-supported cost on every digital solution activity page.
Is the second year of subscription covered?
No. Software costs are supported for up to 12 months. Ask the vendor for the renewal price in writing.
Can I apply after I have paid a deposit?
No. You must not have started work or paid any deposit to the vendor before you submit the application.
Can the vendor apply for me?
No. You apply on the Business Grants Portal with your own Corppass. Vendors and other third parties are not allowed to apply for or manage the grant on your behalf.
Can I pay after applying but before approval?
Yes, but at your own risk. Payments made after you submit can be supported if the application is approved; if it is rejected, you bear the cost.
Can I switch vendor later?
No. After you apply, only the project end date and claim due date can be changed. Switching vendor means terminating the application and applying again.
When is the grant paid?
As a reimbursement after the project is done and fully paid and your claim is approved. Claims for single-function software open from 1 December 2026.
I already got PSG for this software. Can I claim EDGE for it?
No. EDGE is for new projects; a project already funded under PSG, EDG or MRA should not be funded again. Past PSG grants do not count towards your EDGE limits.
