Question 33893 — commerce and crafts

Summary

Mr. Yves Hemedinger draws the attention of the Minister of the Economy, Finance and Recovery to the need for expanded coverage of rental charges weighing on businesses affected by the restrictive measures implemented since October 30, 2020. For many traders, rent represents the main cost of their business. In a context of confinement and closure of non-essential businesses, the charges rental costs borne by the latter are therefore a crucial issue for the survival of their activities. The Government had announced the creation of a 30% tax credit for landlords which will apply to the amounts of rent waivers granted over the period from October to December 2020, to companies with fewer than 250 employees, administratively closed or belonging to the hotel, cafe and restaurant sector. This Thursday November 12, 2020, this tax credit was increased to 50%, demonstrating the insufficiency of this tool. This tax advantage is neither sufficiently attractive for landlords, nor up to the challenges. Traders in difficulty are waiting for more direct aid allowing them to cope with fixed costs which do not suffer from any confinement. Therefore, he wishes to know if the Government is considering the creation of a fund guarantee which would make it possible to cover all or part of the rental charges of traders suffering the full brunt of this new confinement, without putting in difficulty the owners who themselves live on the rents.
