SME entrepreneurs who were directly or indirectly affected by the corona crisis in the first quarter of this year have been able to apply for the expanded Fixed Cost Allowance (TVL) since November 25.

This so-called TVL Q4 scheme has been expanded, as we previously discussed on the FHI website, in the context of the third support package announced by the government to tackle the economic impact of the corona crisis. All SME entrepreneurs who were affected in the last quarter of 2020 can claim this scheme.

The expansion makes it possible for all sectors to submit an application. You can also claim a one-off subsidy for mandatory closed food and beverage outlets. This concerns inventory and adjustment costs incurred, the so-called Horeca Inventory Storage Adjustments (HVA). This compensation can amount to a maximum of 20,160 euros.

With the TVL scheme, entrepreneurs can apply for a minimum subsidy of 750 euros and a maximum of 90,000 euros. The scheme is one of the most popular in the support package. Since the opening, 8,916 companies have already applied for compensation, it was reported NU.nl. This is considerably more than in the initial period of the special corona arrangements.

Want to know more or apply for the TVL scheme? This can be done via the website of the RVO. The application period runs until January 29, 2021.
