Preservation of benefits for former peasant (farmer) households

Many peasant (farm) enterprises have passed into the status of legal entities in connection with the new taxation rules that restrict the application of a patent, since January 1. The deputies of the Committee on Agro-Industrial Complex, Industry and Natural Resources consider the benefits that were due to peasant farms should be preserved. Relevant initiatives were supported to introduce amendments to the laws “On share collection” and “On payment for land” at the online meeting of the Committee today. The authors of the law-in-draft are deputies of the Supreme Council Oleg Leontiev, Ivan Nedelkov and Igor Yarych.

For example, if peasant (farmer) farms had benefits for uprooting perennial plantations and were exempted from paying land tax, then such a benefit will remain for the remaining period of its validity and after the transition to the status of a legal entity. An important condition is that the legal entity must be formed by the head or one of the members of the peasant farm, or they must be part of the founders of the legal entity.

The legislations supplementing the laws “On share collection” and “On payment for land” will be proposed by the relevant committee to be considered by the members of the Presidium at the plenary session on January 18 in two readings at once. If adopted, the norm will extend its effect to legal relations that arose from January 1, 2023.
