The tradesman bonus can be applied for from July 15 and covers all tradesman services from March 1, 2024 to December 31, 2025. The funding amount is a minimum of 50 and a maximum of 2000 euros per household and year and applies to the private residential sector, e.g. for painting, kitchen installation, tiling, etc. The application must be made online.

For those who are not so adept online, there will be "institutional assistance", the ministry emphasized in a press release today. The processor is the Federal Accounting Agency.

300 million euros are available from the state budget
