Kocher: “Boost the construction industry”

“The craftsman bonus is an important contribution to stimulating the construction industry and supporting craft businesses. By specifically promoting work in the residential and living areas, we are creating incentives for investment and contributing to the creation and renovation of living space.

To ensure that no investments are held back, the bonus will be available retroactively for all services from March 1, 2024. From July 15, 2024, you can apply for the craftsman bonus at the Federal Accounting Agency,” said the Minister of Labor and Economic Affairs. Martin Kocher.

WKO: “A win for consumers”

According to the survey, three quarters (74 percent) of Austrians consider the craftsman bonus to be an attractive offer. 37 percent will use it, and another 27 percent are still considering it. “More than half of those surveyed are starting new projects or bringing forward projects that have already been planned because of the craftsman bonus,” says the Austrian Federal Economic Chamber (WKO). Renate Scheichelbauer-SchusterChairwoman of the Federal Trade and Crafts Division of the Chamber of Commerce, said: “The craftsman bonus is a win for consumers, who save money and can rely on top quality. It helps companies because investments are brought forward. And it is also worthwhile for the state because it prevents illegal work and the measure is self-financing.”
