Trade and other payables includes an amount of €88 million (2019: €6 million) related to ProRail and the Dutch central government, of which €86 million relates to the NOW scheme. This concerns NOW 1.0 advance payments received for the main rail network, before the public transport availability payment was available. These advances will be repaid in 2021.

The Group's liquidity risk due to trade and other payables is stated in note 25 and the continuity section.

Other taxes and social security charges increased, mainly due to the Group’s ability to defer payment of payroll taxes. The Group expects to meet the obligation in 2021 so it is not a long-term liability.
