時短協力金、規模別で支給　中小企業は最大日額１０万円―飲食店支援策・政府

　政府は１日、緊急事態宣言やまん延防止等重点措置で営業時間の短縮要請に応じた飲食店への協力金について、事業規模に応じて支給する仕組みを決めた。幅広い事業者の協力を得るのが狙い。午後８時までの時短要請の場合、中小企業には売上高に応じて最大日額１０万円を支給する。
　１日決定したまん延防止措置の対象地域となる大阪市と神戸市、兵庫県の西宮、尼崎、芦屋の３市と仙台市に適用する。
　午後８時までの時短要請の場合、中小企業には前年度または前々年度の１店舗当たりの１日売上高に対し４割に当たる額（最大日額１０万円）を支給する。売上高１０万円では日額４万円、２５万円では日額１０万円になる。新たな仕組みでは支給額の下限は日額３万円。ただ、今回のまん延防止措置の期限となる５月５日までは従来制度の下限となる４万円に引き上げる。申請には確定申告書などの提出を求める。
　大企業の店舗については、売上高の減少額の４割を最大日額２０万円まで支給する。（2021/04/01-23:52）

The Japanese government on Thursday decided a new policy of providing different amounts of aid to eating and drinking facilities accepting requests for cutting opening hours under a coronavirus state of emergency or pre-emergency stage based on the size of their operations.
   The move is designed to obtain cooperation for such requests from as many businesses as possible.
   The government will apply the policy to six cities that will be put under the novel coronavirus pre-emergency stage for one month from Monday. The six cities are Osaka, the capital of the namesake western prefecture, Kobe, the capital of neighboring Hyogo Prefecture, the Hyogo cities of Nishinomiya, Amagasaki and Ashiya, and Sendai, the capital of the northeastern prefecture of Miyagi.
   The government decided the pre-emergency designation on Thursday, with measures to curb infections set to be taken intensively in the six cities during the one-month period.
   Eating and drinking establishments run by small companies will receive daily aid equivalent to 40 pct of their one-day sales in the previous business year or in the year before that, with an upper limit set at 100,000 yen, if they are asked to close at 8 p.m. or earlier. A facility with daily sales of 100,000 yen, for example, will get 40,000 yen per day. The aid amount will be 100,000 yen for a facility with daily sales of 250,000 yen or more.
