WKNÖ President Wolfgang Ecker Welcomes Fixed Cost Subsidy 2 and Blockage Sales Replacement: Support is still urgently needed for indirectly affected companies
St. Pölten (OTS) – “Our Lower Austrian companies can apply for the new replacement services from today,” emphasizes Wolfgang Ecker, President of the Lower Austrian Chamber of Commerce (WKNÖ), regarding the application options now available for the fixed cost 2 and blocking sales compensation. “The two supports guarantee the survival and, therefore, the future of our companies and, therefore, also of the jobs”. At the same time, the president of WKNÖ continues to call for rapid and bureaucratic support for those companies that did not have to close even in a state of lockdown, but indirectly by closures of other companies are affected, for example, as an industry supplier of the restoration. “There must be measures here now. Time is running out. Every day counts, ”says Ecker.
Fixed-cost subsidy 2, unlike fixed-cost subsidy 1, now takes effect with a drop in sales of 30 (instead of 40) percent and can go as high as 100 percent. “It is particularly gratifying that we were able to achieve an expansion of the bankable fixed costs with the fixed costs grant 2. For example, you can now claim the frustrated expenses and personnel expenses that are necessary to maintain the minimum level of operation,” he says. Ecker. This is particularly important for sectors that are particularly affected, such as travel agencies, cinemas or the bus industry.
With the revenue replacement, retail businesses and body-friendly service providers now also receive financial compensation for the time they were not allowed to unlock due to Corona. The replacement rate is staggered for constitutional reasons and depends on the perishability and seasonality of the goods (loss of value in the closing phase), the sales / earnings ratio and the probability of recovering purchases.
