This is Matsui of IMS. The spread of the new coronavirus has transformed our lives, and it seems like it will be a long battle until a vaccine is developed. There are many people who are feeling uncertainty and anxiety about the road ahead. Meanwhile, the national and local governments are providing various support to residents and companies. The 100,000 yen stipend per individual is fairly straightforward, but in most cases, receiving support from the national government requires complicated procedures in writing.

For example, the Tokyo government has announced a "Prevention of Infection Cooperation Fund" which will be provided to small- and medium-sized businesses that cooperate with the suspension of use of facilities in response to requests from the city. It is expected that there will be a considerable number of businesses in Tokyo who will be applicable to apply. However, the government strongly recommends "document confirmation by a specialist" when applying for the cooperation fund.

We are aiming for smooth application procedures and payment. Therefore, we highly suggest hiring a specialist to check your application eligibility and documents. Although we accept applications without prior expert confirmation, there may be a delay in payment due to additional document requests and confirmation. Please confirm the following list of specialists for assistance.

-Tokyo Metropolitan Government

As administrative scriveners, we at IMS Legal Professional Corporation are designated as specialists who can verify documents. The cost of verifying the documents will be borne by the Tokyo Metropolitan Government. Therefore, there is no cost to apply.

If you plan to apply for this cooperation fund, please contact IMS so we can help you get your payment as soon as possible. Applications can be submitted online, by mail, or brought to the local tax office until June 15, 2020 (Monday).

We also support other subsidy applications, so feel free to contact us with questions.
