The increase of the bonus from CZK 500 to CZK 1,000 per day was approved and applies retroactively from February 1st, 2021 (the amendment to the Act is effective from February 24th, 2021). The pool of potential applicants is now larger, now bankrupt people, volunteers in care services and foster parents working on an agreement can also apply.
Purpose/conditions for drawing:
1) The condition for drawing this bonus is the predominant activity in the business, which was directly closed due to government restrictions. Compared to the spring bonus program, the concurrence with employment will no longer be examined. The only thing examined will be the so-called dominant source of livelihood for the decisive period from June 1st until September 30th, 2020 in some of the areas affected by government restrictions, such as hospitality, culture, sports and others.
2) In addition to the directly affected owners of bars, restaurants or fitness centres, this bonus is also aimed at activities directly related. These include self-employed individuals and partners of small ltd., who are in direct symbiosis with closed areas of the economy and who cannot easily replace their income. For example a coach in the gym or an actor in the theatre. A key condition for these applicants the inability to supply products or services or to carry out activities. Their work performance must have been reduced by at least 80% (in comparison to the relevant period from June to September 2020). At the same time, this activity must be the main livelihood income for the supplier (or entrepreneur in direct symbiosis), for which there is no easy substitute.
3) People with work agreements: The condition for entitlement to the bonus is that the applicant has worked for at least 3 of 4 months in the relevant period (from June 1st until September 30th, 2020) on the insured agreement (from which sickness insurance is paid). I.e. the income for the agreement of the working activity (DPČ) was at least 3,000 CZK per month, for work agreements (DPP) then over 10,000 CZK per month.
For the bonus can apply self-employed individuals with an active license as of October 5th, 2020 or with a short-term interruption after March 12th, 2020. In the case of LLC., it must have a maximum of two partners, or it must be a family LLC. More information on the Financial Administration website.
