New funding campaign
The craftsman bonus returns in April
The Burgenland craftsmen's bonus is making a comeback. The last time it was available was during the coronavirus crisis. With this special funding campaign, the state aims to boost the construction industry and at the same time provide relief for households.
The funding budget comprises around five million euros. Funding is available for the renovation of roofs and façades, the replacement of windows and floor coverings, plumbing work and lightning protection, as well as thermal renovations and blackout prevention measures.
Thousands of jobs to be secured
"Especially in times of the interest rate and inflation crisis, we want to ease the financial burden on Burgenland residents with increased funding incentives and boost private investment in construction and renovation measures," explains Provincial Councillor Heinrich Dorner. This should also secure thousands of jobs. "The construction industry is currently doing very badly," emphasized Chamber of Commerce President Andreas Wirth. "We are lacking orders." It is hoped that the craftsmen's bonus will provide an additional boost and new impetus for the main and ancillary construction trades at a time when the economy is weak.
Craftsman services are subsidized by 25 percent and a maximum of 7,000 euros for those who are eligible for the housing subsidy. All others can claim a 10 percent subsidy. Measures to increase energy efficiency or reduce energy consumption are supported with 25 percent of the costs for labor and materials, up to a maximum of 10,000 euros. The costs for energy efficiency checks and energy certificates are covered at 75 percent, up to a maximum of 400 euros each. The services submitted must amount to at least 400 euros excluding VAT and be carried out between April 1 and December 31, 2024. Applications are possible until January 10, 2025.
