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 on-line up to 16 June 2022.
This 2022 recover bonus is the successor to the recover bonus that was available to these same sectors in October 2021 (see our Infoflash of 28 October 2021).
To be eligible for this bonus, you must:
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.
The amount of the variable bonus cannot exceed the actual loss of turnover during the period concerned. The revenue loss is calculated by comparing the 2019 and 2021 reference periods.
The amount of turnover is calculated at the company level and not at the level of each establishment unit.
