Details of the proposed Covid Restrictions Support Scheme (CRSS) were published in the Finance Bill 2020. Pending enactment of the necessary legislation Revenue has today, 3 November 2020, advised that registration for the scheme is now available to eligible businesses, or the tax agent acting on their behalf, via the e-Registration facility in ROS, with over 700 businesses already registered.
Under the CRSS, a qualifying person who carries on a business activity that is impacted by Covid-19 related restrictions, such that the business is required to prohibit or considerably restrict customers from accessing its premises, can make a claim to Revenue for a payment, subject to a maximum of €5,000, for each week that it is affected by the restrictions.
