Tax code will leave without bread

Old schemes of work on the grain market are gone. Thanks to the Tax Code. Its provisions introduced rules under which transactions for the sale of grain and industrial crops, freed from VAT. Value Added Tax on left only for the direct producer of grain - agrarians. As a consequence, for those who buy products from small producers in small batches, as well as for all other actors in the chain, the operation became unprofitable. Victoria Boiko for UBR "I want to ask: what is the grain differs from such sectors as metallurgy and chemical industry, where such innovations are not introduced, why it is a miracle of economic thought it has found expression in the grain market?" - Outraged Vladimir Klimenko, chairman of the Ukrainian Grain Association. We wanted the best innovations aim was clear - to counter the unreasonable and illegal earnings from brokers to refund VAT from the budget. The scheme seemed simple. Producer-agrarian its supply of grain counts of VAT. Intermediary that buys grain, also takes into account the VAT, because it pays for the grain dealer. But at the same time a large number of mediators formed through front companies overcharge purchases. And here is sold for export (ie, outside the state, where control less then) at a lower price. The difference from the non-existent, in essence, the VAT shall be reimbursed from the State Budget. Lawmakers in the Tax Code for VAT zernorynka abolished and black scheme of dummy companies to shut down. But then there was another problem - the difference in price from real vendors. Because now they are buying grain, forced to bring total costs and the price of the grain and the amount of value added tax (which the State is not refundable). "In the future resale of grain, if such a middleman will make a marginal premium to the price of grain, he has formed a loss. Ie, it actually should be a secondary market to sell, increasing the price by at least 20%. In order to compensate for their chtobі the cost of VAT, "- emphasizes Artut Nonquit, a partner law firm. To business resellers of grain was not unprofitable, it should sell grain a particular manufacturer, such as bakery, a premium of 30%. 10% of them - it will wage the most dealers. Or trader. A 20% - Compensation paid to farmers VAT. In another way, does not work. Because the work at a loss of business will not be. But while 30% will have to go to the cost of bread. Moreover, even if the intermediaries will not and bakery itself buys grain from the peasants, the situation will not change. Because the plant also will pay VAT to the manufacturer, and its amount will carry on spending. Ie, the cost of baking. Got the usual result of the work under the new scheme with the analog value added in the grain market is already there. Since February, from different cities of Ukraine have been reports that the counters as a small retail outlets and supermarkets, flour disappears. "A lot of talk lately about the fact that the flour disappears. I must say that would be lost not only a meal, but whatever. And the reason for this one. The Tax Code is registered, so-called first sale with the VAT. If you talk to directors of bakeries, then convincing that the grain is now a number of komppany who are forced to sell it and VAT included his costs. Any plant hleboprodktov buying this corn, making of him twirling his product and VAT, for example, at the same meal, should be 100 % of the wound of VAT paid in the budget. What is the conclusion? "He must at least 20% of the VAT increase the cost of production - flour. And he do not. Because the State Committee did not allow it. The result is a kolaps. And all I want to responsible say that this collapse is no escape. All attempts to plant Responsible comrades in Lugansk, it is an absolute lack of understanding of the laws of economics "- emphasizes Vladimir Klimenko. Also looks particularly unattractive one more fact. The current regime of VAT the transitional provisions of the Tax Code provides for up to July this year. "And then what? For example, in this moment I am looking to buy grain. I will make a prepayment. But when the grain is actually going to happen? Rather, its deliveries will start after July 1. And exported grain, too, will be after this date. And today, under the Code, it is not clear what will be the tax regime. And that's a plus or minus 20%. And then the mortgage business and develop under these conditions? "- asks Alexander Minin, a partner at the law firm. Mina for the future harvest of grain and similar bready, the problems are those who are engaged in the supply and purchases not only of commodity grain, and seeds. Because they are made of similar codes. Ie, it turned out that the seeds are also exempted from VAT. "What to do with the VAT that was paid when importing these seeds at customs or purchase? Can I put VAT or not? After payment on delivery of seeds were carried out last year. And the contracts can be transient. And in fact, the seeds will be shipped only at the moment. And now these operations are already exempt from taxation "- Alexander Minin adds. If the situation with a grain of potential losses is possible to minimize the expense of higher margins and new schemes of work, the seeds need to realize today. And it can happen that will preboi with the seeds, add the experts. Such non-transparent working environment, together with administrative pressure regarding quotas, creating uncertainty for the grain business. And they lay the big risks in the price. That is, paying less neposredsvennym producers. Last forced to agree. Not every small producer can generate volumes of parties, which are traded on exchanges. And even more so in their village, they can not find a way to direct customers.
