The travel industry came to a grinding halt when COVID-19 hit. As did many transportation businesses. From lengthy shutdowns to limitations on passenger capacity, and increased safety protocols, nearly every person in the travel industry was affected as a result of the pandemic.
COVID crippled travel on a national and international scale.
As far as transportation is concerned, the focus shifted to keeping a core transit system in place, with a skeleton crew of employees, and fewer people allowed to ride at a time. It made for a difficult and confusing situation for all.
If your travel or transportation business experienced either #1 or #2 below due to COVID-19, you may qualify for the Employee Retention Credit program.
1. A greater than 10% restriction on your business operations due to government issued COVID orders, which might include:
2. A 50% or more decline in gross receipts in 2020 when compared to the same quarter in 2019 or a 20% or more decline in gross receipts in 2021 when compared to the same quarter in 2019.
Under the updated CARES Act, your business may qualify for Employee Retention Credit, providing you with up to $26,000 per W-2 employee. The ERC program is available even to businesses that accepted a Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) loan. Don’t miss out on this amazing opportunity.
