What is new in the Law on supporting farmers?

As all interested parties know,  an 84 million leva state aid for lower excise on fuel for agricultural purposes was launched in 2014.  

In the publication Fuel vouchers for agricultural producers we informed you of the basic conditions for obtaining fuel vouchers - deadlines, reporting and other essential steps of the process  regarding the discount.

The fixed financial penalties for farmers who misuse the fuel vouchers are among the novelties of the recent discussion: 2000-5000 lv for individuals and 5000-10000 for legal entities. Moreover, there will be no fines when the violations are committed accidentally by negligence. In such cases, the amount to be returned will be determined by the nominal value of the voucher plus the legal interest since the day of the receipt.

Yet, there is no final solution of the problem regarding the livestock farmers whose machines are not their own.

The National Grain Producers Association announced that they expected a new methodology for the vochers for fuel until the June, 30.

We will keep you informed on the subject!
