Recent Developments: Additional Covid Relief Now Available For Restaurants

The federal employee retention tax credit (ERTC) is designed for restaurants that have struggled during the COVID-19 pandemic. If your restaurant was subject to partial capacity restrictions or sustained losses of 20% or more during a calendar quarter, it is likely eligible for up to $26,000 per employee.

During this webinar, Rebecca Sheppard, Esq. and Peter Haukebo, Esq., Tax Directors at Frost Law, a leading tax advisory firm, will discuss how they help small and medium-sized restaurants simply amend their tax returns to qualify for ERTC funds. Once processed, ERTC is received as a fully refundable credit.
