As pointed out, among other things, by the Minister of Finance, employees of companies-employers, throughout the territory, who are affected according to the expanded list of KAD in April, can be temporarily suspended from an employment contract. They are therefore entitled to special-purpose compensation, in proportion to the period of suspension, estimated at 534 euros per month. For the previous period, the totality of the insurance contributions, calculated on the nominal salary, are covered proportionally by the State Budgets.
For companies whose operation is suspended by order of a public authority, it is possible to suspend the payment of VAT payable in November, until April 30, 2021. This debt will be amortized in 12 installments with zero interest rate or 24 installments with interest rate 2.5%, as of May 2021.
At the same time, for companies whose operation is suspended by order of a public authority, it is possible to suspend the payment of regulated tax quotas and insurance debts, payable in November. Its amortization is deferred in the corresponding periods, at the end of the current regulations.
In the case of employees whose employment contract is suspended throughout the territory, the possibility of suspending payment of fees of regulated tax debts that expire in November, and their amortization is postponed in the corresponding installments, at the end of current regulations.
Furthermore, the suspension of bank loan installments continues, according to KAD April’s expanded list, in consultation with the Hellenic Banking Association, until the end of the year, and extends all unemployment benefits that expired and are due in September, October, November and December, for two months.
At the same time, compulsory teleworking is spreading across the country at least 50% of the workforce, in the public and private sectors, with the exception of activities in which there is an objective impossibility of teleworking.
In addition, a refundable advance 4 and a refundable advance 4 are granted. The refundable advance 4 will be granted, enhanced, in November, based on the fall in billing from September to October.
