Hotels were heavily restricted during the COVID-19 pandemic. Periodic shutdowns, limitations on hotel guest capacity, cancellation of events, and increased safety protocols caused massive impacts in the hotel industry.
The COVID-19 pandemic was a struggle for all hotel business owners and their staff. As travel is becoming more normal and people are returning to activities like vacations, business trips, and more – hotels are back to functioning, but many restrictions are still in place. The good news is that you may be eligible for the Employee Retention Credit!
If your hotel 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-19 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.
