In view of better days, and while restaurants should remain closed at least until Easter, the town hall of Toulouse continues its support measures for professionals in the sector.
The calculation of the public domain occupancy fee for all the terraces will be carried out “in proportion to the months of effective use of the public domain”, indicates Cécile Dufraisse, deputy mayor, in charge of the public domain occupation. This given the government decisions to close these establishments.
Sacha Briand, Finance Assistant, recalls that restaurant and hotel professionals have been exempt from public domain occupancy rights for the year 2020.
Terrace extensions until September 30
In addition, As part of a deliberation voted by the City Council, Friday January 29, 2021, the City is extending, until September 30, its mechanism in favor of extensions of terraces authorized to be installed in the public domain:
In view of the government announcements of January 7 prescribing the continued closure of these establishments until the end of January, and perhaps beyond, it seems necessary to modify the methods of calculating the terraces fee. authorized. Also, and to allow these professionals to restore their already heavily impacted cash flow, I suggest that you invoice the terraces only for the months of actual operation of these rights-of-way on the public domain, depending on the government decisions that are taken, and complete the aid mechanism which provides for the exceptional extension of the Covid terrace extensions until the end of September 2021 by partial exemption of up to 50% of the amount of the public domain occupancy fee for Covid terrace extensions.
To respect the distances between the tables
As a reminder, the terrace extensions, say Covid, had been authorized as soon as drinking establishments and restaurants reopened on June 2, 2020, to allow these establishments to respect the minimum distances between tables (article 40 of decree n ° 2020-860 of July 10, 2020) and between chairs from different tables (article 3 – III of the prefectural decree of 12 October 2020).
These measures aim to support catering and hotel professionals in the face of the economic crisis that this profession is suffering from.
