The regulations in detail:
Extension of the payment period
The maximum payment period for the payment of reorganization quotas following judicial reorganization proceedings is extended to three years.
Breakdown of the renovation rate
There is a longer payment period for 2021 within which remediation must be completed: The remediation quota, e.g. 20% (of the total debt), may now be paid split over three years. Usually, the quotas were previously divided into an immediate quota of at least 5% and three further 5% quotas within two years. It will become clear in practice whether an immediate quota must continue to be paid and how many further quotas will be necessary.
