An example of a refund
A shop that in 2020 had a turnover of 60 thousand euros, compared to 120 thousand in 2019, had a loss of 60 thousand euros, i.e. the average monthly loss of 5,000 euros. The percentage of 50% will therefore be applied to this figure (5 thousand euros) (that assigned to activities that in 2019 had a turnover of between 100 and 400 thousand euros), thus obtaining the amount of the refreshment provided for the shop in example, i.e. 2,500 non-repayable euro.
