VLADIMIR PLOTNIKOV: “THE RIGHT TO REGISTER FARMS WITHOUT FORMING A LEGAL ENTITY IS RESTORED”

Deputies of the State Duma voted unanimously to adopt a bill that returns the right to farmers to register a peasant (farm) enterprise without forming a legal entity.

The Association of Peasant (Farm) Households and Agricultural Cooperatives of RUSSIA addressed this issue to the United Russia Party and the Government of the Russian Federation. The issue of restoring the status of the individual entrepreneur of the HEAD of the Peasant Farm was raised at the XXXIV Congress of the Association and was included in the final Resolution.

Vladimir Plotnikov, First Deputy Chairman of the Agrarian Committee of the State Duma, President of AKKOR, commenting on the adoption of the bill, noted: “Before the signing of the Order of the Federal Tax Service, which abolished the form of registration of a farm without a legal entity, there were 176,305 peasant (farm) farms in Russia. Of these, 132,792 or 75% chose the organizational and legal form “IP-head of a peasant farm”, as the simplest from the point of view of conducting business. Three years later, this opportunity was restored.”

Now, individual entrepreneurs with the status of “peasant (farm) enterprise” will be subject to legislative acts regulating the activities of peasant farms, including the provision of agricultural land without tendering.
