Application for more than 30,000 applications in a week or more Cooperation fee for prevention of spread of infection in Tokyo April 10 18:10

In order to prevent the spread of the new coronavirus infection, the "infection spread prevention cooperation fund" provided by the Tokyo Metropolitan Government in response to requests such as suspension of business has been applied for more than 34,000 cases within one week from the start of reception. I found out that there was this in the interview with Miyako. About one-quarter of the businesses expected by the city in the first week or so of the reception period of nearly two months have applied.

The Tokyo Metropolitan Government has received a 500,000 yen "infection spread prevention cooperation fund" from SMEs and sole proprietors who responded to the closures and shortening of business hours requested by the capital every day for 21 days from 16th to 6th May Or 1 million yen will be paid.

From 22nd of this month, the reception will start on a dedicated homepage or by mail, and depending on the city, there will be 34,223 applications at 9:00 am on the 30th, just over a week. The acceptance period is until June 15th, and the city expects that the number of business operators eligible for payment will reach approximately 130,000, so approximately one-quarter of the first week will have applied for it. .

The application includes an application form, a pledge, a copy of the latest tax return that indicates that the city is open before requesting it, and a website that shows that the company is closed during the period requested by the city. You need posters.

However, depending on the capital, in the case of applications that have been submitted so far, documents that are not clear due to the "temporary period" of closure, etc., and restaurants that are requested to shorten business hours will be charged before the request. It means that you can see documents that are not written that they were open even after 8 pm.

If there are any deficiencies, we will ask you to submit the necessary documents again.To ensure smooth payment, the city should apply after receiving prior confirmation from an expert such as a tax accountant or SME diagnostician. I am calling.

Call for expert confirmation

The Tokyo Metropolitan Government is calling for experts to confirm in advance whether the application documents are sufficient, in order to ensure smooth payment of the "Infection spread prevention cooperation fund".

The experts targeted by the city are blue tax return, tax accountants, certified public accountants, small and medium-sized enterprise doctors, and administrative scriveners in Tokyo, and the cost is paid by the city, so there is no burden on the applying company.

According to the city, about half of the documents that have already been applied and confirmed the contents have not been confirmed in advance by experts.

As a point to note when applying, Masaaki Morikawa, Senior Managing Director of the Association of Small and Medium Business Doctors in Tokyo, said, "Many people have ambiguous writing such as when the business hours are from what time and the period of suspension of work is not specified. I think that the time when we can receive the cooperation fee will differ depending on whether there is a prior confirmation by an expert. Please consult with an expert and apply as soon as possible.
