Late applications will be rejected without exception. The deadlines are listed below.

In the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rijksoverheid.nl\/ministeries\/ministerie-van-sociale-zaken-en-werkgelegenheid\/documenten\/kamerstukken\/2020\/05\/20\/derde-wijziging-now\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Letter to Parliament: Third amendment now<\/a> However, Minister Koolmees has indicated that this deadline will be extended to <strong>5 June 2020<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>This deadline also applies if, prior to the introduction of the NOW scheme, you had submitted an application for reduced working hours which had not yet been processed when the NOW scheme came into effect.<\/p>\n<p>The third amendment to the NOW scheme, announced in the aforementioned letter to Parliament, concerns:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>an alternative method for calculating the wage bill for seasonal businesses (including those with a zero wage bill in January 2020);<\/li>\n<li>the determination of the relevant wage bill in the event of a transfer of the undertaking;<\/li>\n<li>excluding from the wage bill the 13th-month payment made in January 2020 (and possibly also other wage components that do not directly relate to the work carried out in January 2020).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4>TOZO<\/h4>\n<p>The application for the TOZO (Bridging Allowance for Self-Employed People) must also <strong>by 31 May 2020 at the latest<\/strong> to be received by the local authority.<\/p>\n<h4>TOGS (Emergency Helpdesk)<\/h4>\n<p>The deadline for applying for the one-off grant of \u20ac4,000 from the emergency support scheme is slightly later. Applications must be received by the Netherlands Enterprise Agency (RVO) by 26 June 2020 (17:00) at the latest.<\/p>\n<h4>Special deferral of tax payments<\/h4>\n<p>The three-month period during which the special tax payment deferral \u2013 subject to few conditions \u2013 can be utilised will end for the first business owners in a few weeks\u2019 time. The exact date is stated in the letter in which the Tax and Customs Administration confirmed the payment deferral granted.<\/p>\n<p>The logical consequence \u2013 which, however, not every business owner may yet realise \u2013 is that, at that point, all outstanding (additional) tax assessments must be paid. The same applies to the tax due on all payroll tax and VAT returns submitted from that point onwards, as well as to all tax assessments (including additional assessments) received from that point onwards.<\/p>\n<p>Given that the economic impact of the coronavirus crisis is far from over, many business owners will still be unable to make (full) payment. They may request the Tax and Customs Administration to extend the special deferral, but must then submit a statement from an independent expert. Alternatively, they may seek to agree a payment plan with the Tax and Customs Administration.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Op 20 mei 2020 zijn door de ministers Wiebes, Koolmees en Hoekstra de contouren geschetst van wat zij het Noodpakket 2.0 noemen.
