The new professional bonus can be applied for from today, Monday. But the start had a difficult start: there was talk of technical problems on the website and there were delays and repairs were probably necessary. The telephone hotline is also not reachable.
For many repairs and new construction, there is a subsidy of up to 2,000 euros to cover labor costs. You can apply for the craft bonus online. There seems to be a lot of interest, or the site was not equipped to handle the many clicks. Because the platform failed on the first day of the application.
It said: “We are currently experiencing technical difficulties submitting applications due to high demand. Please try again later. Our apologies!” (see screenshot)
Hotline not available
Customers can also expect little help from the hotline at the moment. Anyone who calls only hears a recorded voice. After a short while, he says that the number is currently unavailable. Interested applicants will probably have to wait.
The link to the online application was clickable, but the technology played a trick when submitting the application. To fill in the form you need an Austrian ID or an ID with photo. Let’s hope that no accidents happen during the identification…
