Combining Agricultural and Non-Agricultural Activities (Recording Requirements in Terms of Income Tax)

Abstract

In the current legal status, the income dependent taxation rests only on farmers running a business and on farmers operating within special sectors of agricultural production. The recording requirements covering farmers shall therefore depend on whether the agricultural holding also generates income from running a business or operating within special sectors of agricultural production apart from income obtained from agricultural activities. If so, the farmer and his business partners become liable to income tax on individuals. Individual farmers who, apart from income obtained from farming, also generate income resulting from running their own businesses, and partners in civil partnerships and general partnerships can, in specific cases, still choose the form of income tax on individuals they are liable to. The choice depends, among others, on the level and type of the income earned.

The purpose of the article is to present and briefly characterize the recording requirements in terms of the conducted activities (agricultural and non-agricultural) for the needs of income tax. The following basic research methods were used by the author: the subject literature and legislation analysis and critical review accompanied by formal methods including tabular and graphic description.
