Personal subsidiary farm: the nuances of organization and devices

Why private household plots should not be the only source of income

They move from cities to cottage settlements, villages, villages and garden associations for various reasons, and not the least of them is the desire to start a subsidiary farm. First of all, to feed your family with natural products, with which, whatever one may say, the store can not be compared. It is impossible to consider personal subsidiary farming as the main source of income, since this would be a violation of the law. And given that the state is tightening control "on all fronts", it is quite possible to run into fines. To prevent this from happening, it is worth understanding the concept of private household plots and the restrictions arising from this form of management.

1. LPH – What is it like?

For private traders, there are two forms of agricultural activities - a personal subsidiary farm (LPH) and a peasant farm (KFH). In fact, both of them allow you to grow and sell agricultural products, but peasant farms are commercial entrepreneurial organizations, and private farms are not. And the difference is not only in volumes, but also in the very principle of farming. The purpose of creating a farm is to make a profit in the amount of more than 70% of the total income from the production, processing and sale of agricultural products. A personal farm, for that and personal, that they grow cattle, poultry, fish, vegetables or garden crops for their own use, and if there are surpluses or pressures, they are allowed to be sold.

2. Can workers be hired to help?

No, according to the law governing the activities of personal subsidiary plots, all work must be performed only by the owners and their families. Which is more logical, since the scale of private household plots initially depends on the needs and capabilities of households. It's not a crime if from time to time you need a one-time outside help, but if we are talking about attracting workers on a regular basis, this is already a direct violation.

3. On what sites can private farms be run?

In order for the site to be able not only to grow a vegetable garden or garden, but also to breed livestock, it must have an appropriate type of permitted use (VRI). The best option is the lands of settlements with VRI "For maintaining personal subsidiary plots." On such a site, you can build a house, and all household premises, engage in livestock raising, and crop production. If there is already a house, but the land around the "cat wept", for private household plots you can buy or rent from municipality and agricultural land located outside the settlement, that is, field site. In most cases, a subsidiary farm is bred on personal plots, acquiring land for construction or a house with a sufficient number of acres. As for the size of the plot, the Federal Law on Private Farms (No. 112, Part 5, Article 4) allocates up to 0.5 hectares per farm, but local authorities are authorized to increase this area fivefold.

4. Do I need to register a private household?

No, as a non-commercial form, private household plots do not require the owner to open an individual entrepreneur or legal entity and register with state structures. You can be engaged in the maintenance of a subsidiary farm from the moment of registration of ownership of the site or registration of a lease deal with the municipality. But since for the legal sale of surpluses, various certificates will be needed, including the presence of a private household, it must be legalized. For this, information about the farm and its owners is submitted to the local administration and entered in the household book.

5. Is private household plots taxed?

It is not taxed, since it was not initially recognized as a form of entrepreneurship, therefore, neither the personal income tax (personal income tax) nor the value added tax (VAT) is charged. And how could they be charged if the tax private household plots are not registered. But the land tax will have to be paid, and if the farm buildings are capital and registered with the Federal Register, then the real estate tax. It is possible to reduce the amount of payments - one capital farm building with an area of ​​up to 50 m² is not taxed. That is, you can build a multifunctional utility block on one foundation and under one roof and not pay taxes for it. For a small farm, the sounded quadrature is quite enough. And auxiliary buildings (sennik, bunker, chicken coop, etc.) do not have to be made capital at all.

6. Is it possible to register on the lands of private household plots?

No problem, if the house was built legally, with sending notifications of the beginning and end of construction, without violations of standards. After the commissioning of housing, a permanent residence permit is issued at the passport office or through the MFC.
