Netherlands: Additions to third support package corona |Events

Submitted by siha on

Rijksoverheid.nl (27.10.2020) Due to the corona measures, many events, such as music festivals and fairs, have been canceled.

The cabinet is coming up with a one-off extra fee based on the TVL fee for the summer. It is expected to involve 800 event entrepreneurs, who will receive an average of around € 14,000. An amount of € 11 million has been reserved for this.

Netherland: Additions to third support package corona | Subsidy for inventory and adjustment costs

Rijksoverheid.nl (27.10.2020) Catering entrepreneurs have built up stocks that they can no longer use because of the temporary closure.

In addition to the Fixed Expenses Allowance (TVL), the cabinet is granting a one-off subsidy to compensate for these costs, of approximately 2.75 percent of the loss of turnover, an average of € 2500. Entrepreneurs can apply for the subsidy from mid-November via the TVL application. € 40 million has been reserved for this scheme.
