The repair bonus is back and is intended to give old electrical appliances a second chance. This was suspended during the summer due to numerous cases of fraud, but can be ‘picked up’ online again from Monday. The “crown” shows how this works.
Since the introduction of the repair bonus, 70 million euros have already been paid out for the repair of smartphones, washing machines, vacuum cleaners, etc. and 60 million euros are still available until 2026. The Austrians provided 670,000 repair bonuses to no fewer than 3,500 partner companies. From Monday you can only redeem the bonus at around 2,000 companies. It is still difficult to estimate what demand there will be. Because new rules apply.
