Among the demands of the industry is exemption business of the year 2020 since Municipal taxes, municipal tax, fees shared spaces etc.
As well as the freedom for the outdoor table seating area beyond the lines defined by the municipalities until today, the reduction of the rents of the restaurants to the same percentage that will reduce the right to use the space, the reduction of VAT at 6% on food and coffee, the abolition of the 100% Tax Advance, but also the establishment of a special “unemployment compensation” fund for professionals who will put a final lock on their businesses due to coronavirusbut also for employees who will lose their jobs.

The PASKEDI announcement in detail:
«Until Δ.Σ. of the PANHELENIC ASSOCIATION OF STORES AND CONSUMERS OF CATERING & ENTERTAINMENT “PA.SK.KEDI.” Welcomes the thousands of colleagues in the Catering and Entertainment industry, the Presidents and members of all the major Catering and Entertainment associations across the country, employees, permanent and seasonal, vendors, consumer-clients, presidents and members. Trade unions of workers, suppliers and consumers throughout the country.
We have worked hard since the outbreak of the pandemic and the imposed measures to initiate a productive dialogue with the government, discussing organized proposals and a well-thought plan of action that would protect the industry, anticipating the disaster that was coming.
However, what we have been receiving so far is what the industry has been receiving from all governments for decades: INDIFFERENCE.
For the moment, however, things are more serious than ever. The Catering problems have brought despair and anger to the people who work in it, who now face the threat of extinction from the consequences of the measures against the pandemic.
The worst thing, however, is that it is not only about indifference, but also about a strategic targeting and bleeding from the forces of the industry, that at every opportunity it is the victim who pays for the broken, with the blessings and the nonexistent , unionism of superiors and high officials who, acting as “officials” of the State, “deafen” through diplomatic relations and harmful commitments.
So, as we have not learned in the orders, as they also taught us with the KYA newspaper, that “but it changed our lives and our lights”, we decided to take action and propose to the industry:
General recurring industry lockdown if needed:
The Catering suspends its operation, in a first phase and remains closed from September 16 to 22
… and we ask:
1. Exemption of companies in the year 2020 of Municipal Taxes, Municipal Tax, Common area taxes, etc. As well as freedom for the space of the exterior benches beyond the lines defined by the municipalities to this day in order to maintain the necessary distances without drastically reducing their number, paying attention to the specifications necessary for the passage of chairs. wheels, carts, in addition to free opening hours. beyond 24.00.
2. Reduction of catering rents to the same percentage% that the right to use the space will be reduced. We can’t be forced to use 50% of the square footage that we rent and pay 100%, and the tax break for restaurant owners at the same% percentage, so we will all be in this war together and not some of us. alone.
3. Reduction of VAT to 6% on food and coffee, which is based on the pre-election announcements of the current government. At the same time, the tax rates in 2020-2021 for the 2019 fiscal year will be 10% in all companies with no advance next year.
4. Subsidy for all debts that have arisen from December 3 to the end of the year (insurance contributions, television and music rights, DEKO, NOVA, COSMOTE TV, etc). Likewise, all debts in tax and insurance obligations that have already been certified, have the possibility of repayment in 12 installments as of 1/1/2021.
5. Enter into the obligations of being suspended all DEKOs that are in accordance with the schedules of the previous regulation.
6. Suspension of payments of the regulations in all Local Authorities. for the next seven (7) months without the addition of surcharges
8. Restart the chapter in all restaurants. The payment of a lump sum equivalent to 5% of the 2019 turnover is proposed and in each case with a maximum limit of € 10,000.
9. Banks to lend checks with 12-month amortization without interest and to strengthen the issuer after a relevant check, impossibility of repayment with criterion a) when it was issued and expire definitively from the period 28/2 to 2 months later of the maturity of the extraordinary. The measures or as an emergency solution will be that in case of stamping checks, it does not register in Tiresias but automatically enters 12 months of amortization as of 1/1/2021 (a process between entrepreneurs) with legislative force.
10. Integration of the Catering sector in NSRF programs.
11. Integration of the Catering sector in EOT.

17. 50% reduction in bank transaction costs.
18. Establishment of a special “unemployment compensation” fund for professionals who will put their businesses permanently on hold due to the coronavirus, but also for employees who will lose their jobs.
