New social aid for the self-employed in Portugal

Comme vous le savez sans doute le déconfinement à commencer lundi 4 mai au Portugal, cette première vague semble ce passé correctement. À ce titre nous vous rappelons que nous avons mie une procedure in place to receive you on our premises.

Unfortunately, some trades are still encountering major difficulties, and the Portuguese government has just introduced a new welfare scheme for the self-employed in Portugal, which is due to be voted on this Thursday at the Council of Ministers.

New social aid for the self-employed in Portugal

It's been around two months since the first plan to support businesses and the self-employed was launched in response to the Covid-19 pandemic, and this Thursday the executive is set to approve new measures to strengthen social protection for the Portuguese.

To date, some 100,000 companies have already set up lay-offs to avoid bankruptcy, and many parents have applied to the social security system for exceptional assistance to keep their children at home in the absence of school. The government has decided to go ahead and extend the benefits granted to self-employed workers, managing partners and trabalhadores informais. Unemployment benefit will also change.

Au cours de la première année d’activité, les travailleurs indépendants ont droit à une exonération au niveau de la sécurité sociale , pour le moment seuls ceux qui ont refusé cet avantage fiscal ont jusqu’à présent, accès à un soutien « extraordinaire » . Compte tenu de l’impact de la pandémie au niveau de l’économie nationale, cette aide sera désormais prolongée .

Un soutien « extraordinaire » a été préparé pour les travailleurs indépendants qui ont au moins trois mois de facturations consécutives ou six mois de facturations au cours des douze derniers mois. Tous les travailleurs indépendants qui ont demandé à bénéficier de l’exonération de cotisations sociales, mise à disposition au cours de la première année d’activité, ont donc été exclus de l’aide lié au Covid-19.

However, the Minister of Labor, Ana Mendes Godinho, and the Prime Minister, António Costa, have already indicated that the government will vote, this Thursday in the Council of Ministers, on a law to extend this aid to self-employed workers who benefit from exemption from social security contributions. For the moment, no amount has been communicated for this social aid for the self-employed in Portugal.

The terms and conditions have not been announced.
