Two cases in Salzburg

Craftsman bonus not paid out due to cash discount

Owners of houses and apartments may get money back from the federal government when renovating. If only there weren't so many hurdles and pitfalls to overcome in the submission process. Mr. P. and Mrs. A. from Salzburg have so far failed in their applications for the craftsmen's bonus.

Mr. P. (name known to the editor) spent just over 22,000 euros to get the roof on his home back in shape. The roofer's invoice meticulously lists all the items. P. submitted the invoice for the craftsman's bonus to the Ministry of Economic Affairs in July. The man from Flachgau hoped to get around 2,000 euros back from the Ministry for the renovation. But: not a cent has been paid to date.
