Is your business eligible for the Resurgence Support Payment?

The Resurgence Support Payment is a new payment scheme launched to assist small businesses to cover expenses as wages and fixed costs, when there is move to Alert Level 2 or above for a week or more.

The last day for applications is 22 March 2021 to apply through myIR.

It is not a loan, so it does not need to be repaid. The payment includes a core per business rate of $1,500 plus $400 per employee - up to a total of 50 FTEs ($21,500). Firms that experience a 30% drop in revenue over a 14-day period will be eligible.

Revenue is compared to a typical 7 day period in the 6 weeks prior to the change in alert level. You do not need to be a business in Auckland to receive this support.

Businesses and organisations (including sole traders) must have been in business for at least 6 months.
