The deadline is opening to request direct aid to the productive fabric linked to the receipt of garbage

Benidorm City Council opens tomorrow, December 2, the deadline to request direct aid related to the receipt of garbage and that are aimed at commercial, hotel and tourism establishments or other activities that were affected by the state of alarm or subsequent regulations "and that, consequently, are suffering the effects derived from the pandemic." This has been pointed out by the mayor, Toni Pérez, who explained that “after the bases of these grants were published today in the Official Gazette of the Province, the establishments, companies or professionals interested have a period of 10 days to request it electronically in the Electronic Headquarters of the City Council: https://sede.benidorm.org/inicio ”.

Toni Pérez recalled that "these direct aid are part of the latest measures promoted by the local government to support the local productive fabric, with the aim of contributing to the maintenance of economic activity and employment." For this call, the City Council has reserved a million euros, in addition to the million that will be allocated to prizes and for second prize awards for all participating establishments in the Christmas Window Dressing Contest.

As stated in the bases, individuals, legal entities and communities of assets that have a regular and permanent establishment for the development of their economic activity can attend this call, which was suspended on a mandatory basis as consequences adopted by the decree of the state of alarm, which regulated the recoverable paid permit or the order to suspend the opening to the public of the tourist accommodation.

To benefit from the grant, it is essential to have paid the receipt for the garbage tax corresponding to 2020 and be up to date with the payment of municipal taxes.

The mayor has indicated that "these direct aid will reach up to 25% of the amount paid in the receipt of the garbage tax this year." Likewise, it has transferred that "by regional regulations, these direct aid are incompatible with those granted by the Generalitat on the occasion of the Covid-19 because this was established by the autonomous aid itself."

The bases, requirements and documentation to be provided can be consulted in the Official Gazette of the Province this Tuesday, and as of tomorrow also in the municipal Electronic Headquarters.
