FAQ Reimbursement for Loss Due to COVID-19

• Food and beverage facilities such as restaurants, lunchrooms, event catering, and cafés.
• Hair and beauty salons such as hairdressers, pedicurists, and make-up artists.
• Event locations and organisers.
• Saunas, solaria, swimming pools, fitness centres, sports clubs and sporting events.
• Private cultural institutions, such as museums, circuses, theatres, cinemas and cultural education centres.
• Driving schools.
• The travel industry, such as travel agents and agencies.

Companies that can apply are not located in a residential building. The only exception is for food and beverage facilities where, for example, the owner, leaser or tenant lives on another floor of the building.
As of 30 March, the reimbursement is also available to specific entrepreneurs in the non-food sector.

The designated sectors are facing the economic consequences of the forced closing of food and beverage facilities and events, the ban on personal contact with clients, and cancellations in the travel industry because of travel restrictions.

If reimbursement is not available for the SBI code of your company, the Dutch government has other options, drawn up in the Dutch ‘Noodpakket economie en banen’. For more information in Dutch, please check the webpage on financial schemes.

This is not possible. The reimbursement is meant to last 3 months.

We are trying to resolve this right now. You can apply for a reimbursement until and including 26 June  2020 17:00 CEST. The budget is ample. If you cannot apply at this moment, please try again later. Thank you for your patience.
