The tightened corona measures have significant consequences for entrepreneurs and workers. Therefore, the cabinet has significantly expanded and extended the support package in recent weeks.

Entrepreneurs can make use of the TVL Q4 2021 if they suffer more than a 30% loss in turnover compared to the fourth quarter of 2019 or the first quarter of 2020. In that case, an entrepreneur receives 100% subsidy for the share of fixed costs that belongs to the sector. The maximum subsidy amount that an SME can receive is 550,000 euros. For non-SMEs, the maximum is 600,000 euros. The state aid limit has also been increased with the introduction of TVL Q4 2021: from 1.8 million euros to 2.3 million euros. For previous TVL periods, the maximum limit remains 1.8 million euros.

The application period for the TVL Q4 2021 runs from Monday, December 20, 2021, 08:00 AM to Friday, January 28, 2022, 05:00 PM. RVO aims to make the first payments before the end of 2021.
