Among the measures of aid decree bis, approved by the Council of Ministers yesterday 4 August 2022, there is the refinancing of the fund intended for the 200 euro VAT bonus.
Let's talk about the one-off indemnity provided for by the Aid decree (art. 33). With this last rule, the legislator allocated a fund from 500 million euros for self-employed and professional workers.
The recipients of the 200 euro VAT bonus
In detail, the benefit belongs to the following categories:
- self-employed workers and professionals enrolled in INPS management, separate management or social security management to which they belong
- direct farmers, sharecroppers and settlers
- craftsmen and merchants
- principal agricultural entrepreneurs
- independent fishermen, small-scale sea fishing and inland waters.
More money, but the implementing decree is missing
The 500 million euro fund risked not covering the 200 euro bonus for all VAT numbers. For a fair distribution of resources, the estimate was that the indemnity would not reach 200 euros for each (but at a lower amount).
Therefore, to guarantee the aforementioned amount, with the Aid bis decree, additional resources are allocated for 100 million euros.
However, the same art. 33 of the Aid decree, refers the definition of the times And request method of the bonus 200 euros VAT matchesas well as gods requirements.
This provision was to be issued within 30 days of the entry into force of the Aid decree, i.e. before 17 June 2022. The implementing decree does not yet exist. Thus, an allowance that continues to exist only on paper and not in practice.
In the INPS Circular 24 June 2022, n. 73 all are present instructions and beneficiaries of the one-time indemnity of 200 euros.
