The Brussels Government is supporting the sectors of nightclubs, restaurants and cafés and their main suppliers, events, culture, tourism, sport and passenger transport by granting them a new bonus.
You can now apply for this bonus online.

You must also meet certain conditions which vary according to your sector of activity.
The amount depends on the percentage of loss of turnover and the number of employees you employ (in FTEs). The Brussels-Capital Region will use the 2019 social balance sheet to determine your number of employees (in FTEs). If you are not obliged to publish a social balance sheet or if the publication deadline has not yet expired, the Brussels administration will rely on a certificate issued by your payroll office showing the average number of employees in FTE for the year 2019.
If you were registered in the CBE during 2019, the amount of the 2019 turnover must be calculated in proportion to the number of days you were registered in the CBE in 2019.
The bonus is granted per establishment unit with a maximum of 5 establishment units per company.
The amount of the bonus shall not exceed the actual loss of turnover during the period concerned.
