The inactive peasant farmsteads will be struck off the Register of Peasant Farmsteads and the State Tax Register of Peasant Farmsteads. The list will be compiled by the State Tax Service. A bill that specifies the procedure was approved by the Cabinet, IPN reports.

According to Minister of Finance Dumitru Budianschi, slightly over 111,000 peasant farmsteads were registered on January 31, 2022. Over the last three years, statements about the activity of peasant farmsteads were submitted by over 25,000 entities. An incorrect picture of the state’s agricultural potential is created and this generates confusion about the business entities operating in agriculture.

On the other hand, the citizens accumulate enormous debts to the state social insurance budget, but they don’t know about them as the peasant farmstead was registered without the persons knowing that an entrepreneurial type of activity was registered in their name.
