Faster and more money with her immaterial cardwith a time-consuming process and also less money through a deposit to Bank account.
This is the idea that seems to permeate the way it will be structured 6 month market pass announced by the prime minister from the floor of Parliament and the details of which will be announced in the coming days by the government’s financial staff.
In order to receive the money, one must, as was the case with them fuel pass to apply through the platform to be created.
In platform he will see that he has two ways at his disposal. THE first it is through an immaterial card on his mobile phone. Whoever makes this choice, it goes without saying that they must have a mobile phone that supports the contactless payment system.
The beneficiary’s money will come in every month and not all at once. And for every purchase he makes in a supermarket, minimarket, bakery, pastry shop, fish shop, butcher’s shop, 10% will be deducted until he reaches the limit of his purchases (the single person, e.g. €220) and the amount is used up (of €22) to which he is entitled.
CAUTION, if someone doesn’t reach their shopping limit in a month, the money they have left over NOT they are carried over to the next but are lost.
THE second choice crediting the money to a bank account is an option that the government wants to discourage as much as possible as it found that in Fuel pass 2 it was chosen by two out of 3, while in fuel pass 1 it was chosen by 70%. That is why the money here is 20% less and not only is it not credited immediately (per quarter and therefore 2 payments per semester) but a procedure will be required that will make it difficult for older people especially. And this is because according to the Minister of Development Adonis Georgiadis, the one who chooses the money in the bank should enter the platform and use his VAT number to access his card and then upload the receipts of his purchases with photos. At the end of each quarter the liquidation will take place and only then will the money be credited to his account. This way it is ensured that someone who gets the money through a bank, will have made purchases, and not just keep it or gamble with it or use it elsewhere as was often seen with fuel pass money.
The money of the measure is not a subsidy for future – often unrelated – purchases that someone will make, but for purchases that have already been made – typical executives commented Ministry of Development.
It becomes clear that the markets do not concern only food but also sweets , stationery and even clothes and shoes since these are also sold in supermarkets, hence the market pass and not the food pass. Is very possible measure to include markets in street markets while kiosks and fast food restaurants are excluded.
As in almost every such aid – the €650 of the security forces is of a different category – money is unrestricted and tax-free and the beneficiary must have submitted a tax return and E9.
The measure of market pass will work additionally with the household basket and the government calculates that someone who takes the money and uses it only for purchases from the basket will have a monthly benefit of €120
