Full of the platform from next week for the government which will distribute more than 600 million euros to households through 3 different support packages.
280 million euros will be distributed to millions of beneficiaries for the surpluses in its accounts electricity caused by the infamous adjustment clause. The platform opens next Wednesday or Thursday gradually based on the expiration of the TIN. It will be connected to AADE and will automatically extract the income data but also the data of the main residence such as the address, the meter clock and the co-ownership percentage. The taxpayer will simply have to confirm or update them.
By the latest June 20 will open the platform for replacement of energy consuming devices with the initial budget of the Ministry of Energy being at 150 million euros. It is estimated that 380,000 – 400,000 old air conditioners, refrigerators and freezers can be replaced. The interested party will fill in the AFM, AMKA platform, supply number and the type of device he wants to replace. If he is a beneficiary he will receive a number with which he will go to buy the device he wants with a 35-50% subsidy. For each device there will be subsidy ceilings which will be announced.
There are no exclusion criteria but income, marital status and possible disability will determine the ranking of beneficiaries and runners-up. Each household can replace up to 3 appliances. However, the combinations that are allowed are 2 air conditioners and a refrigerator or 2 air conditioners and a freezer or 1 of all. Of course, you can not withdraw an air conditioner to get a refrigerator. Whatever you withdraw you get and what you withdraw must have previously been certified to work.
At early July we are entering his time FuelPass 2 as the Ministry of Finance chose direct credit to bank accounts despite the reduction of some tax which is doubtful if it would reach the consumer in full. The criteria will be expanded which means that many more than the 2 million euros in the first round will be able to receive money. In addition, an increase in the amount of the subsidy was considered, which ranged between 30 euros and 55 euros.
