More than thirteen months ago, on June 8, 2020, I wrote a hopeful blog about what I saw on the terrace in Delft: exuberant people who, after more than two and a half months, could enjoy a beer, snack, the shining sun, fun and of course especially from each other. The entrepreneurs undoubtedly trusted that from that moment on everything would get better and they would have a carefree summer and late summer. Looking back on the last more than thirteen months, we now know that the most difficult part of the Corona crisis was yet to come.
Actually â now that the perspective is much better (despite the currently rising infection rate) â I am repeating myself: I say again: Cheers. on a beautiful summer and enjoy the open terraces, but do it responsibly.
Corona support packages
Of course I hope that we have now completed the most difficult part of the crisis, nevertheless we are not quite there yet and the Dutch government also takes this into account when offering its Corona support packages, here are a few in a row:
TVL Q2 2021:
If you meet the following conditions, you can apply for an allowance for the fixed costs for the 2nd quarter of 2021 up to and including 20 August 2021:
- Your company has more than 30% loss of revenue in the 2nd quarter of 2021 compared to the 2nd quarter of 2019 or the 3rd quarter of 2020.
- You can choose which reference period is most favorable for you: Q2 2019 or Q3 2020. If you choose Q3 2020 as the reference period, the received TVL or other Covid-19 subsidies (such as TOGS, NOW, etc.) from Q3 2020 do not count. as turnover.
- Your fixed costs are at least âĴ1,500 per quarter, based on the percentage of fixed costs associated with your main activity.
- Your company was incorporated before June 30, 2020 and registered in the Chamber of Commerce Trade Register.
- The main activity with which your company was registered in the Trade Register of the Chamber of Commerce on 15 March 2020 counts.
- You are only eligible for a secondary activity if you have SBI code 64.2, 64.30.3 or 70.10 as your main activity and SBI codes for secondary activities that entitle you to TVL. The application system automatically selects the most favorable SBI code.
- Additional conditions apply to certain SBI codes.
So be there on time!
TVL Q3 2021:
- The conditions for the TVL Q3 will be the same as for the TVL Q2. Your company lost more than 30% of revenue in Q3 2021 compared to Q3 2019 or Q3 2020.
The application period has yet to start, keep an eye on our (social media) channels for this.
NOW:
It will soon be possible to request wage costs compensation for the months of July, August and September 2021 if you expect a loss of turnover of at least 20% over this period compared to the turnover 2019 divided by four. (or possibly otherwise in case you started the company later than January 1, 2019). The NOW is subject to various obligations, such as guiding staff to other work in the event of dismissal, including a mandatory notification to the UWV, a best-efforts obligation to retrain staff and the obligation to file a declaration in a timely manner.

After the third quarter of 2021, the government will stop supporting entrepreneurs. So grab your chance now to apply for the latest support measures. Please contact corona@aame.nl for this. In any case, we are happy to be of service to you.
