Start accepting "rent support benefits" At 6:29 on June 20th
With regard to "rent support benefits," which will reduce the burden of rents on small and medium-sized enterprises whose sales have fallen sharply, the acceptance of applications is expected to be delayed until next month.
Due to the new coronavirus, rent support benefits fell by more than 50% in one month from last year's sales, or by more than 30% in three consecutive months, between May and December. A maximum of 6 million yen will be paid for a part of the rent for a half year for businesses.
As a general rule, applications are only accepted online, and initially we were aiming to start acceptance at the end of this month, but it is expected to be delayed next month.
According to the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry, it is required to shorten the examination time as much as possible and connect it to prompt payment, but it is also necessary to confirm the actual condition of the rental contract and the business in order to prevent unauthorized receipt, It is said that it takes time to coordinate between the government and the ruling party, etc.
The rent support payment is expected to take longer than the two-week examination, which is expected to take longer, so the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry (METI) is aiming to start the application as soon as possible.
