100 **Approved Scheme:** Is this an Approved Scheme? If “**Yes**”, activate the relevant tick box under the “**General**” Component of the screen.
101
102 **Exclusive Expense:** Is the risk premium an inclusive or exclusive expense? In other words, is this expense included in the contribution paid or added over and above the contributions payable to the Fund? To trigger an exclusive expense i.e. paid over and above the contributions, activate the relevant tick box under the “**Miscellaneous**” Component of the screen.
103
104 If the tick box has not been activated the expense will be deemed to be an inclusive expense i.e. forms part of the contributions payable to the Fund.
