1. Except in cases of force majeure and exceptional circumstances as referred to in Article 4, the submission of an aid application or payment claim pursuant to this Regulation after the final date for such submission as fixed by [F1 Article 13 of Regulation (EU) No 809/2014] shall lead to a 1 % reduction per working day of the amounts to which the beneficiary would have been entitled if the application or claim had been submitted within the time limit.

[F2 Without prejudice to any particular measures to be taken by the [F3 relevant authority] with regard to the need for the submission of any supporting documents in due time to allow effective controls to be scheduled and carried out, [F4 the first subparagraph shall also apply with regard to applications for support, documents, contracts or other declarations to be submitted to the competent authority where such applications for support, documents, contracts or declarations are constitutive for the eligibility for the aid or support in question. In that case, the reduction shall be applied on the amount payable for the aid or support concerned.][F4 an applicant may submit documents which are constitutive for the eligibility for the aid in question to the relevant authority by no later than 25 calendar days after the final date for submission of an aid application as fixed by Article 13 of Regulation (EU) No 809/2014.]]

If such delay amounts to more than 25 calendar days, the application or claim shall be considered inadmissible and no aid or support shall be granted to the beneficiary.

[F5 All documents in support of an aid application, must be submitted by 31 December of that calendar year.]

2. Except in cases of force majeure and exceptional circumstances as referred to in Article 4, where the beneficiary of the schemes provided for in Articles 46 and 47 of Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council(1) who is also subject to cross-compliance obligations in accordance with Article 92 of Regulation (EU) No 1306/2013 does not submit the single application form within the final date as referred to in the first subparagraph of paragraph 1 of this article, a 1 % reduction per working day shall apply.

[F6 3. Except in cases of force majeure and exceptional circumstances as referred to in Article 4, the submission of an amendment to the single application or payment claim after the final date for such submission as fixed by [F7 Article 13 of Regulation (EU) No 809/2014] shall lead to a 1 % reduction per working day of the amounts relating to the actual use of the agricultural parcels concerned.

Amendments to the single application or payment claim shall only be admissible until the latest possible date for late submission of the single application or payment claim as specified in the [F8 third][F8 second] subparagraph of paragraph 1. However, where that date is earlier than, or the same as the final date for the submission of an amendment to the single application or payment claim as referred in the first subparagraph of this paragraph, amendments to the single application or payment claim shall be considered inadmissible after that date.]

[F6 3. Except in cases of force majeure and exceptional circumstances as referred to in Article 4, no amendment to the single application may be admissible after the final date for submission of amendments as specified in Article 15(2) of Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 809/2014.]
