The Covid Restrictions Support Scheme (CRSS), which was introduced by Section 11 of the Finance Act 2020, was a targeted support for businesses significantly impacted by restrictions introduced by the Government to combat the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic.
The scheme was available to companies, self-employed individuals and partnerships who carried on a trade or trading activities from a business premises that was subject to restrictions that prohibited or considerably restricted customer access. The scheme was designed to help traders meet their costs at a time when they could not provide goods or services to their customers from their business premises, or could only do so to a limited extent, due to COVID-19 related restrictions.
The total cost of the CRSS was €727m. The scheme ended in early 2022.
