During the pandemic, events like concerts, large gatherings, and large personal events like weddings were put on hold. The lengthy shutdowns, limitations on gatherings, and increased safety protocols, all created huge changes to the entertainment industry as a whole.
The entertainment industry was one of the most strongly impacted by the pandemic. In a sense, it changed the landscape of entertainment forever, but the good news is that you may very well be eligible for the Employee Retention Credit!
If your Entertainment Venue 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.
