Kolejna odsłona tarczy antykryzysowej rusza w styczniu
Background information
In December 2021, the government decided to roll out another iteration of the Anti-Crisis Shield. The Anti-Crisis Shield 10.0 is set to be activated in January 2022 and combines two main instruments: exemption from social security contributions for December 2021 and work stoppage benefit for up to six months. Both are available only to specifically listed branches identified by their NACE codes.
Content of measure
The new Anti-Crisis Shield rests on two pillars. The first one is an exemption from social security contributions for December 2021. Applications must be submitted by the end of February. In order to take advantage of the instrument, business owners must run their operations in beverage serving, and other amusement and recreation activities.
The second one is a work stoppage benefit, available for up to six months for selected branches. The amount of the benefit is PLN 2,080 or PLN 1,300 per month depending on further conditions. The list of entitled businesses is broader in sectoral terms than in case of the former measure, yet the maximum period of six months is available only for the same fields of activity. The remaining sections of economic activity covered by the measure are eligible for aid from one to five months.
