The Employee Retention Tax Credit (ERC) is a federal program designed to help businesses negatively impacted by the pandemic. MP provides ERC support to relieve businesses of the burden of determining eligibility and completing the complicated IRS claims process.
Recovering from the challenges of the pandemic has been difficult for bars and restaurants. Meeting and overcoming these challenges becomes easier with pandemic financial aid funds, accessible through the Employee Retention Tax Credit (ERC Credit).
The ERC is a federal program that provides funds to organizations impacted by the pandemic. Regulatory and societal changes had a profound impact across the foodservice industry, and many companies are still trying to manage the lingering effects.
Your restaurant is likely entitled to ERC credits that provide support through these challenges, and ensure future growth and success.
Since its inception via the CARES Act, organizations all over the United States, including in the nonprofit, trade or business sectors, have been claiming Employee Retention Tax Credits (ERCs). After completing their claim process (often via Form 941), organizations are receiving hundreds of thousands of dollars (sometimes over one million or two million) in pandemic financial aid. Employers, even those who received a Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) loan, have been able to claim up to $26,000 per each employee’s payroll costs. (Note that if an organization receives a PPP loan, they must ensure they aren’t “double-dipping.” This means their qualified wages could only be paid with monies that didn’t originate from PPP loans.) Could detract from encouraging people to seek eligibility. Employers are eligible to claim the ERC for three main reasons:
1. A significant decline in gross receipts
2. A 2020 or 2021 government order that required them to fully or partially suspend business activities
3. Other business restrictions related to government orders during the first three calendar quarters of 2021 or all of 2020.
