You only confirm the saying:
"The beggar will drive the horse, sitting on horseback."

Henry VI, part 3, act 1
William Shakespeare

The brilliant Englishman remembered the saying in one of his historical chronicles. But she came to us from the Middle Ages from the good old England. More than half a millennium has passed, and the saying does not lose its relevance today. And it directly concerns all our SNTs. How? How? And remember. If you, dear gardener, have also visited other pages of the SNT Pishchevik website, then you probably paid attention to the fact that everywhere one thought runs like a refrain through the content of the pages:

SNT develops and flourishes where gardeners annually, carefully, sensibly, with feeling, with arrangement, invest money in their gardening partnership.

In other words, the meaning of English wisdom is that if a beggar mounts a horse who has never had a horse before, then he will simply drive him to death. That's what a lot of people do gardeners for years, decades, without investing anything in the development of their own SNT, like a beggar who has never had anything and has no idea how to deal with a horse that suddenly fell from the sky. Such SNT it simply falls apart and any creative activity, including in individual areas, gradually freezes and comes to naught.

Very often in this connection you can hear the common phrase of gardeners: " Governing body does nothing, there is no fence, no security, no water, roads are not being repaired. Why donate money if there is no return. "In this phrase - the question lies an elementary misunderstanding of the main goal and task of the SNT, as such. Namely:

1. Horticultural, horticultural, dacha non-profit partnership (cooperative, partnership) are established by citizens to solve the general problems of gardening, horticulture and dacha economy. One gardener cannot solve global resource-intensive tasks. For this, SNT is being created, as an organization of gardeners.

From opponents you can hear further: "But I don't need all your fuss with the organization. I can handle it myself." I doubt that one gardener will be able to provide himself with electricity, gas, water, other utilities, repair the access road to his site, be able to protect his property from thieves and solve many more problems with local authorities and the state.

2. The state, in order to preserve the fertility of the land and extract benefits from it, allocates land plots for gardening. Within these allotments, citizens are cut into individual garden plots. Driveways, streets, walkways and other elements of infrastructure are organized within each division. Ultimately, the state assigns all this to gardeners on the basis of the right of common (joint) property, as necessary condition development of horticulture.

The state goes further and legislates the share of each owner in the common land property. An example of such action on the part of the authorities state power and self-government are served by the resolution of the mayor's office of Kaliningrad No. 334 dated 03/07/1995 "On granting citizens - members of the horticultural partnership" Pishchevik "of the Moskovsky district to the common shared ownership of public lands and to the ownership (or lease) of the land plots occupied by them" and the resolution No. 2232 of 08/07/2002 "On Amendments to the Decrees of the Mayor of the City on the Granting of Land to Horticultural Associations and Citizens - Members of Associations". In accordance with the last named resolution, each member of the SNT is legally assigned a certain share in the lands common use.

From all this, one important conclusion follows, which is necessary for understanding the entire system of SNT:

3. If the gardener has property, then he freely owns it, uses it, disposes of it in accordance with Art. 209 "Content of the right of ownership" of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation, which constitutes the right of ownership. From this right, the burden and risk of maintaining property are simultaneously placed on the owner (Article 210 "The burden of maintaining property" of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation).

Now try to answer the question yourself: "How can you maintain a land allotment transferred to two hundred, three hundred, a thousand ... gardeners, which does not include gardeners' plots?" With their individual garden plots, more or less everything is clear. If you have taken ownership of it, then you need something from this land, and you will use it in accordance with the permitted use. The same applies to other gardeners - owners of individual plots.

And who should organize scattered individual gardeners for maintenance of public land..? Think correctly, gentlemen, comrades, the general meeting, the board and other bodies of the SNT. They are also called upon to control gardeners within their competence and authority. This is also confirmed by Article 14 of the Federal Law-66 of April 15, 1998, where it is written in black and white that self-government bodies first choose land for gardening, then form a personal list of citizens of the future horticultural association. A general constituent assembly of gardeners is held. And only after state registration SNT people are provided with land plots.

Of course, there are many old SNTs that were formed before the publication of FZ-66. It is important to note here that even earlier land plots were provided to citizens as part of the SNT. Let them be called differently.

The arguments in favor of the organization of SNT, as a legal entity, given above, are not exhausted by this. This topic can be discussed further. However, let's put an end here, highlighting the main chain that determines the formation and functioning of the SNT as an organization, as a legal entity:

Allocation of land for gardening, horticulture, dacha farming involves the creation of an association of citizens, which is called upon (to paraphrase the law a little) not only to assist in solving common social and economic problems, but also to organize the maintenance of the land in accordance with the permitted use.

This is how we slowly but surely crept up to the basis of the existence of any SNT, i.e. to the argument that the maintenance of any property involves an investment of funds, and in most cases - money.

Further, it can be boldly stated that the investment of money by gardeners in the maintenance of the land allotment within the boundaries of the SNT is nothing more than the periodic surrender by all owners of individual garden plots of funds called membership fees in strict accordance with the norms of FZ-66 of 04/15/1998. And it is membership fees that are the basis for the existence of SNT, as an organization of gardeners, and gardeners, as owners of garden plots.

How true are all these statements? Let's figure it out.

Membership fees in SNT.
Purpose, principle of collection, size.

Membership fees are the basis for the existence of SNT

Solving common social and economic tasks, SNT, as an organization, creates an infrastructure that is quite specific for this particular association.

infrastructure- this is a set of objects, property, systems and services, controls necessary for the functioning and ensuring the conditions for the normal life of the SNT.

From the definition it follows that only all taken together: common property with management, control, employees and make up this very infrastructure, which gardeners, according to Art. 210 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation are required to contain.

Civil Code of the Russian Federation, Article 210 "The burden of maintaining property"

The owner bears the burden of maintaining the property belonging to him, unless otherwise provided by law or contract.

If the board and similar SNT bodies do nothing for months, years, decades, then not only governing body, consisting of idlers, but also a general meeting of all members of the SNT, which from year to year elects idlers to governing bodies and does not require any work from them.

It is also important to note that the board, which receives a pittance for its work (this is the very minimum that must be maintained), and does not have the funds to develop and maintain the performance of other infrastructure elements, will not work. "Not up to fat, I would live," - it is very accurately said for such SNT.

It would seem that membership fee and all of the above has nothing to do with it. But it's not. The connection is direct, direct.

The membership fees of gardeners, just, are called upon, based on the definition given in the Federal Law-66 of April 15, 1998, to contain the entire infrastructure of the gardening partnership. And Article 19 of this federal law only confirms this:

FZ-66 dated April 15, 1998, article 19 "Rights and obligations of a member of a horticultural, horticultural or dacha non-profit association"

    2. Member horticultural, horticultural or dacha non-profit association must:
  1. bear the burden of maintaining the land plot and the burden of responsibility for violation of the law;
    ...
  2. timely pay membership and other fees provided for by this Federal Law and the charter of such an association, taxes and payments;

Let's add an important remark to subparagraph 1:

The purpose of collecting membership fees in SNT is: - Creation, acquisition, reconstruction, modernization of common property owned by SNT as a legal entity;
- maintenance (maintenance) of the SNT infrastructure.

We understand further. Suppose we have a certain amount, which is carefully calculated by the board, and which will presumably be included in the estimate with a proposal to the general meeting to approve it as an expenditure part of the estimate. From the expenditure side, the revenue side of the estimate automatically follows and, accordingly, the size membership dues for each gardener (in more detail the estimate, its preparation and calculation of fees will be discussed below). It is here that the general meeting is marking time in one place for a long time, because. due to the large expenses, the treasury of the SNT should naturally receive large incomes, consisting of contributions from the members of the partnership. Nevertheless, after trampling and releasing steam by everyone, the meeting still approves the income and expenditure estimates. And an accountant can now easily calculate membership fees for any gardener. And on what basis, how? On these issues in the worldwide network there are ongoing battles without the rules of decency, without victories and defeats of the participants. Everyone has their own opinion. Let's try to work out the truth and put an end to the principles of collecting membership fees.

The principle of collection of membership fees

In the Federal Law-66 of 04/15/1998, there is no clear definition on what basis the gardener must pay contributions to the SNT. But this does not mean at all that in SNT you can do as the general meeting, the board, wants. This is exactly what many gardeners who do not read the law deeply think. But sometimes even the courts that decide on dues also think that the assembly can do anything. This opinion is erroneous. Let's figure it all out, comrades.

Example: On March 29, 2010, the Taldomsky District Court of the Moscow Region in civil case No. 2-284 / 10 to the SNT "Narcissus" on the recognition of the decision of the general meeting as partially illegal and the obligation to make settlements with individuals according to the list decided to deny the plaintiff's claim. Almost simultaneously with the first, a little earlier, on January 27, 2010, the Taldomsky District Court made a similar decision in civil case No. 2-99/10 against SNT "Narcissus" to recognize the actions as illegal and recover damages, dismissing the claim. The essence of the lawsuits is that the plaintiffs did not like the decisions of the general meetings of the SNT "Narcissus" in terms of establishing the amounts and principles for collecting membership and earmarked fees (the decisions of the Taldom Court with the necessary comments can be seen by clicking on this link).

When analyzing our near-member questions on contributions, we are only interested in the general important conclusion made by the judges from the whole variety of words, sentences, legal turns and conclusions, namely:
SNT and its members have the right to independently decide which principle of collecting membership and target fees is more suitable for your particular partnership. The main thing is to observe the following:
- the general meeting should be held in compliance with the norms of FZ-66 of 15.04.98 and the charter of the SNT;
- the general meeting must have a quorum, and following the results of the meeting, a properly executed protocol.

Firstly, decisions cannot be made without a comprehensive study of the norms of the law, and no one has done this, because. it should be understood that the court made certain conclusions in strict accordance with statement of claim plaintiff, his evidence and the arguments (evidence) of the defendant. In other words, considering these cases, the court did not prove anything to the plaintiff and the defendant. The judge only gave a legal assessment of the arguments of the parties and made a decision on this basis. It is not his duty to study the issue comprehensively, this duty rests with the plaintiff and the defendant.

Secondly, in the cases with the Taldomsky court, the plaintiffs lost because they could not prove their case. Moreover, they were initially wrong, without understanding the norms of the law.

Thirdly, the defendant, docking in his case, referring to just one article 21, paragraph 1, paragraphs. 10 "" FZ-66 of April 15, 1998 on the priority of making a decision by the general meeting of members of the SNT on contributions, he managed to win.

In continuation of the topic of court decisions of the Taldom District Court, we will only add that membership fee principle nevertheless, it is determined by law and does not depend on the will of the general meeting (we emphasize that the principle of collecting contributions, not the amount). Even if this fact does not lie on the surface of the law in its direct presentation. That is why gardeners, SNT boards, lawyers, "journalists" fight "to the death", and many cannot come to a final conclusion. And we, dear gardener, will find all the evidence ourselves and come to the same conclusion. This will happen not because we are the smartest, but because we have all the materials of all the battles in our hands and are able to draw the right conclusions from them.

Principle 1: One precinct - 1 SNT member - one vote at the meeting - one membership fee. All membership fees are equal.

  • Compulsory taxes and payments established by the state through tax legislation.
  • Payments by agreement of the owners, aimed at the maintenance and preservation of property.
  • “And why, let me ask you, in this case the tax is taken by the state in proportion to the size of the plot, and not a single gardener has a state of war with the tax authority over taxes different in size for his plot compared to the plots of his neighbors? And why, all of a sudden , from nothing direct content its huge area should be calculated somehow differently?"

    Let's look at the issue from another angle. The owner of a larger plot unequivocally derives more benefits for himself. This includes higher yields more possibilities for recreation (pool, garage, chicken coop, sauna, gazebo, etc.). Someone will say that this has nothing to do with SNT and public land. Has, what else. SNT and created in order to combine material and financial resources gardeners and provide everyone equal conditions for gardening and recreation on their plots.

    If the gardener, by virtue of owning a large plot (or even several plots), receives more from his plot (plots), then why should the provision of all these benefits be determined by equal contributions? The guard, making a tour of the territory of the partnership, spends more time on a larger area; the board, fulfilling its duties even with the same amount of work, ultimately allows the owner of a larger plot to extract more material benefits for himself. Let's go back to the letter of the law.

    FZ-66 dated April 15, 1998 Article 19

    2. A member of a horticultural, horticultural or dacha non-profit association must:
    1) bear the burden of maintaining the land plot and the burden of responsibility for violation of the law;

    If the gardener owns one plot, then the burden of maintenance is determined by one plot. If the gardener bought a neighbor's plot, then the burden of maintaining the former neighboring plot falls on the buyer. That is, the owner of two sites must maintain 2 sites, respectively, pay 2 membership fees, more precisely one fee, but in double size. In any other case, the economic component of income in a gardening partnership will slowly but surely slide towards an increase in the amount of contributions for the maintenance of the entire infrastructure society. In other words, if initially there were 100 sites in the SNT and membership fees were paid from 100 sites, then this should always be the case. By the way, it will remain so for the tax authority. They absolutely do not care how many members of the SNT are left in the partnership, the tax is calculated from the area of ​​\u200b\u200bthe plots. Therefore, the owners who have bought neighboring plots pay and must pay for those members who dropped out of the SNT in accordance with the requirements of Article 18 of the Federal Law-66 "Membership in a horticultural, horticultural or dacha non-profit association" and taxes and membership fees. This, if you don't mind, is seen as social justice.

    From all that has been said, it follows important rule, confirmed by the given legislative norms:

    Membership fees to SNT are calculated in proportion to the size of the individual garden plot of each owner (owner).
    The membership fee is the same, but its size is different for gardeners. The gardener who owns a large plot pays a larger membership fee.

    Membership fees

    Quite recently, in our SNT, no one had a clue about the existing FZ-66 of 04/15/98 and all the norms and actions that follow from it. But times change, and not always for the worse. Get to the point! Our gardeners for 2010 paid membership fees at the rate of 200 rubles per hundred square meters. This is the end of this calculation. If you think about it, it becomes clear that these contributions had nothing to do with the actual costs of the SNT in this 2010 year. Indeed, why not pay 100 rubles or 500 rubles per hundred square meters. At the meeting, this is what people suggested. Nobody justified anything.

    In 2011, thanks to familiarity with the Federal Law-66, the general meeting of members of our ancient SNT finally adopted an income and expenditure estimate, which almost corresponds to the norm of paragraph 1 of paragraphs. 12 article 21 "". We will not analyze the estimate by elements in this article. It is important for us to determine the principles for determining the size of the membership fee. And it clearly follows from the estimate.

    So, before the general meeting, at which the income and expenditure estimate was to be approved, the board worked in advance (not 2 weeks) in all respects expenditure part estimates in strict accordance with, given in article 1 of the Federal Law-66.

    SNT expenses include all SNT expenses that the society is ready to incur in next year. These expenditures will be accurately correlated with the maintenance of the SNT infrastructure and the infusion of part of the funds from contributions to a special fund. These expenses will include the salaries of the chairman, accountant, electrician, security guards, maintenance of buildings and structures, including everything common property, incl. the property that was created for earmarked contributions. This also includes expenses for stationery, trips to organizations and departments, telephone conversations, training and recertification of personnel, tax and other obligatory payments, expenses for organizing and holding general meetings, repairing equipment, public roads, etc., etc., etc. In a word, the expenditure part of the estimate that forms the membership fee will include all those expenses of the SNT that do not create or develop infrastructure, but only maintain it in strict accordance with the norms of Articles 209, 210 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation.

    Common property (common property) created with the funds of a special fund, i.e. for part of the membership fees, as a rule, are designed to serve the infrastructure of the SNT. These are office equipment of the board, a common fence around the SNT, a board building, a guards' gatehouse, a barrier at the entrances to the SNT, fire fighting equipment, etc. That is, the property and objects that were not created for earmarked contributions, and which, by virtue of the method of creation, acquisition, become the property of SNT as a legal entity.

    It is this common property, created with the funds of a special fund formed from membership fees, that is divided equally between all members of the SNT in the event of the liquidation of the SNT, because. this property is not shared. This property is not allocated and is not issued in parts, in monetary terms, in cases of withdrawal of a member of the SNT from the association, sale of a plot, donation, etc. This property is transferred to the maintenance of the new member of the SNT along with the garden land from the old member (who sold it, donated the plot, or somehow transferred the ownership).

    Will membership fees be the same for all gardeners? The answer is obvious - no, they won't.

      The amount of the membership fee for each gardener is determined by:
    • the total size of the cost (expenditure) part of the SNT estimate, which includes funds allocated to a special fund and funds used to maintain infrastructure;
    • the size of the gardener's individual garden plot(s);
    • participation (non-participation) of the gardener in the creation, acquisition, reconstruction, modernization of common property for targeted contributions.

      It should be remembered: A property created with earmarked contributions is maintained, regardless of the way of creation, by membership fees, and not by earmarked ones).

    If a gardener did not pay a target fee, for example, for the construction of a power line, and his plot is not connected to an electric line, then such a gardener should not and is not obliged to pay a membership fee for the maintenance of a power line.

    The question may arise about the legality of charging a membership fee from gardeners who did not pass a target fee for power lines, but, for example, use street lighting, driveways in SNT at night. This case must be considered in the context of Article 249 "" of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation. That is, if the owners of power lines at their own expense also made a lighting system in SNT, then, for God's sake, charity is welcome. The maximum that can be done in this situation is to scatter the electricity consumed by the lighting system equally among all the owners of the power transmission line.

    That all gardeners pay some part of the membership fee for the maintenance of the lighting system (do not confuse with the kW / h of electricity consumed by the lighting system - this is communal payment) it is necessary to first gather the members of the SNT for a general meeting and decide on the maintenance of the lighting system, of course, having agreed this issue with the owners of the power lines. At the same time, the lighting system created at the expense of a special fund will become the property of SNT, as a legal entity, and this property will be a share in relation to the entire power transmission line. That is, there will be share owners of power lines (gardeners), and there will also be a share owner of SNT. You can, of course, create a lighting system for targeted contributions from all gardeners. Then those who do not have electricity on the site will own a small piece of power lines, and those who have electricity - a large piece. But, these options are unlikely to give a ride to gardeners.

    But, if this happens, then according to the share in the lighting system (similar to the share of SNT in power lines), gardeners will be required to pay a membership fee for the maintenance of the lighting system (replacement of lamps, preventive examination, salary of an electrician, etc.) Note that the owners of power lines will continue to pay a membership fee for the maintenance of power lines in a much larger amount.

    As a result of all our research, we have:

    The final amount of the membership fee is calculated by the accountant and the board of the SNT in relation to:
    - for gardeners in the part that concerns everyone without exception;
    - for gardeners in the part related to the maintenance of property (objects) of common use, created for earmarked contributions, and owning this property (objects) on the right of ownership.
    This calculation will generally constitute the incoming part of the SNT estimate.

    The income and expenditure estimate certainly includes and (Article 4, paragraph 2 of the Federal Law-66). But, targeted contributions are discussed on the page "Targeted contributions to SNT. Differences from membership fees, the principle of collection, size". It's detailed and laid out in detail.

    There is another important point in the system of collection of membership fees. True, it also applies to all other fees in SNT:

    Should be known and remembered that the SNT board cannot, does not have the right not to take into account all gardeners, including abandoned plots, in the income and expenditure estimates. Otherwise, the active members of the SNT at their own expense stupidly contain idlers who have not appeared in the SNT for years. And the number of those who do not appear is growing and will continue to grow if the active part, together with the board, does not take action against non-payers.

    Losses resulting from underfunding of the incoming part of the estimate due to unpaid payments, the board has the right, is obliged to recover from non-payers through the court in accordance with the requirements of Article 7 "Powers of a horticultural, horticultural or summer cottage non-profit association", Article 46 "Protection of the rights of horticultural, gardening, dacha non-profit associations and their members "FZ-66 of 15.04.98 and articles: 210. "The burden of maintaining property", 244 "The concept and grounds for the emergence of common property", 249 "Expenses for the maintenance of property in shared ownership "Civil Code of the Russian Federation.

    In other words, by not including the contributions and payments of the owners of abandoned plots in the estimate, SNT, thereby, allows a violation of the law, including the rights of all active members of the partnership (), whom the negligent board forces to pay for negligent gardeners.

    In addition, with such a formulation of cases on the revenue side of the estimate, the board, the accountant, has unaccounted money that is not provided for in the estimate. And there are more of them, the better the board works with non-payers. Of course, we mean chronic non-payers, and not gardeners who delay payment of contributions for a month, two, a year. What will happen with such unrecorded money, think for yourself. There are several options: from theft, to putting money into business for the benefit of the entire partnership.

    So, we quietly figured out the membership fees in the SNT: the purposes of their collection, the principles of collection, calculations of sizes. Now let's move on to the next page and arrange a debriefing for earmarked contributions. And this, believe me, is no less fascinating and even more incomprehensible sphere of payments in horticultural associations.


    Since 2019, according to the new law on SNT, the partnership has the right to collect membership fees no more than once a month, and they can only be paid in a non-cash form to a special current account.

    Federal law "On the conduct by citizens of gardening and horticulture for their own needs and on amendments to certain legislative acts Russian Federation"No. 217-FZ dated July 29, 2017 ( last edition) - effective January 1, 2019.

    Changes in the payment of membership fees to SNT that await summer residents from 2019


    The latest news in the field of conducting SNT activities in 2019 will also affect the payment of contributions. In Art. 14 it is indicated that contributions are allowed only in 2 options: targeted; membership.

    In addition, the following changes are envisaged from the financial side

  • Cancellation of the mandatory entry fee.

  • Independent determination by the partnership of the amount and frequency of the contribution.

  • Receipt for the owners of receipts for the payment of contributions, for which it is necessary to pre-produce forms indicating the full details of the non-profit organization.

  • Strict monitoring of the expenditure of incoming funds only for the possible needs specified in the law.
  • The new law on the activities of the SNT will oblige, from 2019, to pay contributions even to citizens who are not members of the SNT, but are engaged in any kind of gardening or horticulture on its territory. Payments will relate to anything related to the acquisition, use or repair of common property. In case of refusal to pay, it will be possible to collect payments through the court.

    Changes that await summer residents who do not want to join SNT

    Now the payment for the use of infrastructure facilities for them cannot be more than for a member of the partnership. But individuals believe that they should pay much less - only for the use of water, electricity, gas, security and garbage disposal. They do not want to chip in on the salary of the chairman and members of the board.

    Now I have to. Payments will be the same for everyone. But the rights of individuals are expanding. They will be able to participate in general meetings of members horticultural associations and vote on all matters related to the frequency and amount of contributions. But they still won't be able to choose the board.

    Associations vote on the principle: one owner - one vote. If the site belongs to three citizens, only two of whom are members of the partnership, then when voting on the activities of the SNT, only two will be able to vote from the site, they will have two votes. But on matters of competence of the meeting of owners - three. You can vote in full-time, full-time-correspondence and absentee forms.

    But it is impossible to elect the chairman and the board in absentia, to resolve issues with contributions, with the allocation of land plots, change the charter, transfer property to common shared ownership. However, if the quorum at the general meeting on these issues has not met, then you can vote again in person and in absentia.

    Legal advice on the new law on the activities of SNT

    Now representatives can vote for a member of the SNT by proxy, which is certified by the chairman of the partnership. The new law deprives him of that right. Representatives will still be able to vote at general meetings, but only with a power of attorney certified by a notary. Lawyers advise before the entry into force of the new law for a maximum period to certify the power of attorney with the chairman.

    According to the law, summer residents in Russia are now gardeners and gardeners. Previously, associations of summer residents, gardeners and gardeners could exist as much as nine organizational forms(including as dacha partnerships and cooperatives). Now the legislator has provided only two: either a gardening partnership or a gardening partnership.

    Dacha associations are automatically classified as horticultural associations. But, of course, no one will forbid a person to call himself summer residents. Especially in a situation where he does not have a garden or garden plot at all, but just a house in the village, where he comes to relax and does not do any gardening. The new law regulates life only in the territories of horticulture and horticulture, and not in settlements.

    The sequence of actions of the SNT after the entry into force of the new law in 2019


    Since the new law on SNT abolishes a number of forms of non-profit farms, they need to adjust their constituent documents to take into account new legislative requirements.

    So, article 8 of law No. 217-FZ establishes the reflection in the charter of 2019 of the following data on the work of the SNT:


    • names, founders and locations;

    • organizational and legal form;

    • the subject and goals of the activity; management method (powers of individual bodies);

    • conditions for the admission of new members, exclusion or voluntary withdrawal from the ranks of the partnership;

    • rights, obligations and types of responsibility of members;

    • conditions for maintaining the register of members of a non-profit organization;

    • the procedure for paying fees and liability in case of its violation;

    • rules for the formation, list of powers and composition of the audit commission;

    • the procedure for the formation or acquisition of property intended for joint use;

    • options for familiarizing members with any type of information relating to the activities of a legal entity (accounting reports);

    • ways of cooperation with citizens who are not members of the organization, but use the lands belonging to its territory for gardening (horticulture);

    • the procedure for amending the Charter;

    • conditions for the liquidation or reorganization of the partnership; decision-making rules at the general meeting by absentee voting.

    This information determines the rules of activity and individual data of the partnership as a legal entity, therefore, they are important for its normal operation and must be mandatory registered in its founding documents in order for them to be valid.

    How not to pay snt contributions

    Attention

    BUILDING WITHOUT PERMISSION If you want to build up your s / plot intended for individual housing construction (hereinafter - IZHS), gardening or summer cottages, you need to know in which cases it is required to obtain a building permit, and in which it is not required. How to increase your land? From March 1, 2015, there was a legal opportunity to increase your land plot at the expense of state or municipal lands (land plots) (Article 39.27 - 39.29 of the Land Code of the Russian Federation).

    New rules for the life of summer residents: everyone is transferred to utility bills

    Why do we need country or garden associations: SNT, DNT, garden or dacha cooperatives? First of all, to create comfortable conditions for using their personal land plots, dachas, garden houses. To meet their needs for passage, travel, water supply and sanitation, electricity, gas supply, heat supply, security, recreation and other needs, gardeners and summer residents create public property at their own expense. Common property includes roads, water towers, common gates and fences, boiler rooms, children's and sports grounds, garbage collection sites, fire fighting and similar facilities.
    In SNT1, such common property is created (acquired) at the expense of earmarked contributions. The law, establishing the obligation of members of the SNT to participate in the creation of common property, regulates the procedure for establishing earmarked contributions and their payment.

    Payment of membership dues

    Should a new member of the SNT, by purchasing a plot from a former member of the SNT, pay off his debts on contributions? There are cases when, upon joining the SNT, the Chairman requires the new member of the SNT to pay off the debt on special-purpose or membership fees. Debt may be transferred from the debtor to another person on the grounds prescribed by law, or by agreement between the former member of the SNT and the new member with the obligatory consent of the SNT to such a transfer of debt (clause 1 of article 392.2, clauses 1 and 2 of article 391 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation). The law does not contain provisions that a new member of the SNT, when acquiring a land plot, transfers the debts of the previous member of the SNT.


    Therefore, if there is no debt transfer agreement between the old and new CNT member, it is illegal to demand that the new CNT member repay the debt! 5.
    It makes sense to collect debts on earmarked contributions only from the current member of the SNT, but not from the former.

Owners of plots belonging to the partnership must pay attention to the type of permitted use of the land. It is from it that you can determine what can be built on the site. Since, according to the new law, there are two types - garden and garden plots - then the buildings are subdivided based on this.

    What associations need to be transformed? NEW LAW ON SNT AND GARDENERS CEO) Often, during a divorce, an unscrupulous spouse tries to withdraw the business from the division of joint property, for example, by selling shares in a joint company to third parties at low prices. Has the project for the organization and development of the SNT territory been cancelled? In connection with the numerous questions of gardeners, our SNT lawyers explain the question of whether it is possible to organize the territory of SNT (other horticultural and country non-profit associations of citizens), as well as to divide the land plot of such an association, to use such a document as the “Organization and Development Project” or is it finally cancelled? A word to our dacha lawyers.

    On the eve of the next meeting in snt "Zvezda" I would like to touch on the topic of targeted funding in horticultural associations, and in particular, the issue of targeted contributions. Let us explain why this particular question attracted our attention.

    At first glance, Federal Law No. 66 quite clearly defines the concept we are considering, and there should not be any difficulties with classifying certain items of expenditure as targeted contributions. However, difficulties do arise.

    The law says that “target contributions are funds contributed by members of a horticultural, horticultural or dacha non-profit partnership or a horticultural, horticultural or dacha non-profit partnership for the acquisition (creation) of public facilities.”

    However, the funds received by horticultural associations as earmarked contributions are not spent on anything. In the estimates of various SNTs, you can find gasoline and mobile communications, taxes and fines, stationery and household goods included in this column. In the estimate of snt "Zvezda", approved at the meeting in July 2013, you can see such articles as payment for audit services, bank commission, Internet for accounting.

    Some, in their zeal to classify anything as common use, go even further. Here, for example, is a comical quote from the appeal ruling of the Vyborgsky District Court: “The justice of the peace unlawfully attributed the chairman of the board of the SNT and his salary, accountant, cashier, watchmen, janitor, paperwork, state duty, photocopying, court costs, forms, paper, stationery, bank service, purchase of firewood for the board, fines, toilet repairs and front door board, etc.” ()

    “What is the problem?” our readers may ask. The main thing is that the collected funds should be spent according to the declared articles, and everyone will be happy. But we fundamentally disagree with such a fairly common point of view among gardeners. Why? Let's try to explain.

    In accordance with paragraph 2. Art. 4 of the Federal Law N66 "SNT property is created for targeted, membership and entry fees." From the same Federal Law No. 66, it follows that targeted contributions should be used for the acquisition (creation) of public facilities, which are included in joint property of members non-commercial partnership: “public property (PPE), acquired or created by such a partnership at the expense of earmarked contributions, is the joint property of its members” (Article 4, Clause 2). And if the operator's services are paid from targeted contributions mobile communications or an auditor, a member of the SNT simply does not become the owner of any objects / property, because no property or objects not purchased or created!

    In general, the complexity of the issue under consideration about earmarked contributions gives rise to the concept of ownership in relation to public property (PPE). As we managed to find out, the "unfortunate" IOP in gardening partnerships is different. The difference is determined by the subject of law, that is, the one to whom this property belongs by right of ownership. In addition to snt members creating IOP from earmarked contributions, there is also an IEP created from membership and entry fees.

    Thus, due to contributions to SNT, two fundamentally different types ownership of the IEP:

    • the property of the association (snt) as a LEGAL ENTITY - from the funds of a special fund (membership, entrance fees, etc.);
    • property of an INDIVIDUAL (member of the snt) - from earmarked contributions.

    The owner, as specified in clause 1 of article 209 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation, has the rights to:

    • ownership,
    • use,
    • property disposal.


    In addition to rights, the Civil Code of the Russian Federation gives the owner and obligations: according to Art. 210 he bears the burden of maintaining his property, unless otherwise provided by law or contract.

    So, IOP, owned on the right common joint property the members of the snt who made targeted contributions, the owners jointly own and use, and they can exercise the right to dispose of such property only by mutual agreement (Article 253 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation):

    item 1. “Participants in joint ownership, unless otherwise provided by an agreement between them, jointly own and use common property”;

    item 2. "The disposal of property in joint ownership is carried out by the consent of all participants, which is assumed regardless of which of the participants makes a transaction on the disposal of property."

    The same owners must jointly bear the burden of maintaining their property. According to Federal Law No. 66, as well as clause 3.4. Charter snt "Star" "gardeners have the right to conduct economic activity individually." From the fact that they have the right to use infrastructure facilities and other common property snt “for a fee, under the terms of agreements concluded with the Board” and the amount of such fee “cannot exceed the amount of payment for the use of the specified property for members of the snt”, we see that for members of the SNT, there is also a fee for using the IEP.

    What do they have to pay for? To this, the Civil Code of the Russian Federation notes that the article is valid, "unless otherwise provided by an agreement between them." Thus, having concluded an agreement on the collection of fees for the use of IEP and the inclusion of such fees in earmarked contributions, i.e. by making an appropriate decision at the General Meeting, the members of the snt - participants in joint ownership will save themselves from unnecessary strife with "individuals", as well as from a smooth outflow of property mass into the hands of a legal entity (more on this later). And the collected funds will be spent on the repair and maintenance of the IEP, while the obligation to maintain their property will be fulfilled by the owners.

    The owner of another IOP, a legal entity, exercises its rights in relation to the property belonging to it, guided by other rules. He, as the sole owner, according to Article 209, paragraph 2 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation, is not limited by anything:

    "The owner has the right on your own perform any actions with respect to the property belonging to him that do not contradict the law and other legal acts and do not violate the rights and legally protected interests of other persons, including alienate his property into the ownership of other persons, transfer to them, while remaining the owner, the rights of possession, use and disposal property, pledge property and encumber it in other ways, dispose of it in another way.

    In many gardening partnerships established before 1995, i.e. before the entry into force of the norms of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation (01.01.1995), public lands (PZO), which are part of the IOP, were transferred to them in collective joint ownership. The Civil Code of the Russian Federation does not contain such a concept. However, certificates of state registration of the right to PDO, received during the period when the provision on granting land on the basis of the right of collective joint ownership was still in force (Articles 8-9 of the Land Code of the RSFSR), have not lost their legal force and confirm the existence of the right to PDO:

    Clause 9 of Article 3 of the Federal Law of October 25, 2001 “On the Enactment of the Land Code of the Russian Federation” states that “state acts, certificates and other documents certifying rights to land and issued to citizens or legal entities before the Federal Law was put into effect” On State Registration of Rights to Real Estate and Transactions Therewith, have equal legal force with entries in the USRR.

    For example, according to clause 1 of the Charter of snt "Star" "the right to collective joint property to public land is confirmed by the Decree of the Head of the Administration of the Noginsk District of the Moscow Region No. 3707 of November 1, 1993 and the Certificate of Ownership of Land - RF V 50-16 No. 502078 of December 20, 1994.

    The subject of law here are individuals, the list of which is attached to the title document (in some cases there is no such list). There is an opinion that the subject of the right under consideration may be a legal entity (snt), but we do not agree with it, since in accordance with Article 8 of the Land Code of the RSFSR “In a collective joint property of citizens lands of collective farms, other cooperative agricultural enterprises, joint-stock companies, including those created on the basis of state agricultural enterprises, and land for common use of horticultural partnerships - by decision of the general meetings of these enterprises, cooperatives and partnerships. The Code does not mention such a subject of law as a legal entity.

    Proponents of a different point of view as an argument most often cite the following excerpt from the same article of the Code: “Lands for common use of gardening partnerships transferred to them free of charge and not subject to division. However, we emphasize that the norms of the legislation in force at that time, on the basis of which local authorities provided land plots for ownership, did not allow transfer of land, including those intended for horticulture, to the ownership of legal entities.

    Based on the foregoing, there is no reason to assert that the horticultural partnership a certificate for collective joint ownership confirms the ownership of the partnership as a legal entity. AT this case partnership is exclusively organizational and administrative activities regarding the PDO, as, in fact, is established by the Federal Law of August 15, 1998 No. 66-FZ.

    The same supporters of the point of view about the subject of law - a legal entity on collective joint property, bring another powerful argument in their favor. Like, if a legal entity pays taxes on PDO, then it is the owner.

    To refute this argument, we present an excerpt from the letter of the Office of the Federal Tax Service of Russia for the Moscow Region dated 14.07.2006. No. 19-47-I / 0803: "for land plots used by citizens - members of gardening associations, with they have the right ownership or permanent (perpetual) use (which arose before the entry into force of the Land Code of the Russian Federation) and lifelong inheritable possession of land plots, and documents certifying them(including those issued prior to the adoption of Federal Law No. 122-FZ "On State Registration of Rights to Real Estate and Transactions with It" by executive authorities and local governments in the prescribed manner), land tax should be levied on members of gardening associations on the basis of the tax notices for the payment of land tax calculated according to the information provided to the tax authorities by the bodies of Rosnedvizhimost, Rosregistration and local governments in the manner prescribed by Article 396 of the Code.

    Before issuance members of horticultural associations evidence for the right to own land, the land tax payers are partnerships that submit tax declarations on land tax to the tax authorities both for public lands and lands, the rights to which are not formalized by members of gardening partnerships in the manner prescribed by law.

    So, the horticultural associations were supposed to be the payer of the PDO tax until the common lands were registered in collective joint ownership. In the near 90s, when wholesale privatization began, most garden associations, which were allocated land plots with different ownership rights (for example, the right of permanent perpetual use), took advantage of the right to privatize land plots. The personal plots of citizens were assigned to each citizen with the receipt of a certificate of ownership individually for each, and the PDO was issued in accordance with Art. 8 of the Land Code of the RSFSR. Then the title document for the PDO was issued. At the same time, the obligation to pay the PDO tax was to be transferred to citizens - participants in collective property.

    However, the Federal Tax Service, referring to the fact that the legal entity collects membership fees and pays tax at their expense, continues to demand land tax declarations from the legal entity. Although this is illegal, but why the FTS needs extra trouble ...

    The chairmen, in the old fashioned way, do not refuse illegal actions and carry in the tax declaration for the PDO from a legal entity that, in principle, does not have a tax base for accrual, since there is no land in ownership, and therefore there is no tax charge. All this is fraught with certain consequences, such as the accrual of penalties for unpaid land tax on time. So, saving themselves from the hassle, the Federal Tax Service is pushing citizens into a debt hole, and the chairmen silently indulge this.

    Moreover, if a legal entity is liquidated, for example, for debts, then the lands are most likely to be taken away in the first place, even if they were owned by citizens, BUT THE LEGAL ENTITY PAYED the land tax for many years, and not citizens - co-owners of the PDO. Accordingly, the court has the right to take this into account.

    (see also Resolution of the Plenum of the Supreme Arbitration Court of the Russian Federation dated July 23, 2009 “On some issues that arose among arbitration courts when considering cases related to the collection of land tax).

    We hope that we managed to convince readers that PDO is the property of citizens - individuals, namely, the team of the partnership. What specific team (the one that was at the time of registration, or the one that exists now) is a debatable question. But the fact that the subject of property rights is a collective, that is, a group of INDIVIDUALS, is clearly not subject to discussion. The horticultural partnership is only a payer of PDO taxes, but not the owner of the PDO.

    The right and its components to common lands are implemented in accordance with the norms of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation, that is, similar to the right of common joint ownership. The owners also bear the burden of maintaining public lands together. And the payment for the possession, use and maintenance of the PDO, as part of the IEP, in our opinion, should be included in earmarked contributions.

    Here it is necessary to note a few more nuances regarding the PDO. The first is that, unlike the IOP, created for earmarked contributions, public lands are in no way tied to membership in the SNT. With the termination of membership, the fate of the IEP, created on earmarked contributions, is known - it still belongs to the right of common joint ownership snt members, since this is how Federal Law No. 66 interprets it. Moreover, regarding the reimbursement of the gardener who left the partnership for his expenses incurred in order to create common property, Article 16, clause 4 of Federal Law No. citizen from among the members of such an association or the liquidation of such an association” must be spelled out in the charter of the association. Regulations on the procedure for the return of targeted contributions, as such, the law FZ No. 66-FZ of April 15, 1998 does not contain.

    Let us turn to the Charter of snt "Star". According to clause 4.1.6. snt member has the right "when alienating or selling a garden plot, simultaneously alienate to the acquirer right use public property as part of snt in the amount of earmarked contributions used to create public infrastructure snt. Let's turn a blind eye to the fact that such a wording contradicts Federal Law No. 66, which says (Article 19, clause 1, clause 6): “when alienating a garden, garden or summer cottage land plot”, a member of the SNT has the right to “simultaneously alienate to the acquirer share common use property as part of a horticultural, horticultural or dacha non-profit partnership in the amount of earmarked contributions. Even the Law contains a gap here, because in common joint no ownership shares.

    The creators of the Charter of snt "Zvezda" went even further and leave the alienator only the possibility of transferring the right to use the IOP, somehow forgetting about the rights of ownership and disposal! This is with regard to the members of St. BUT " person who left(excluded) from the members of snt, do not return targeted contributions made by him for the construction, repair and operation of public infrastructure elements ”(clause 4.4.7. of the Charter), that is, he (a person who has withdrawn from membership) is not only deprived of his right to an IEP, but also cannot receive compensation for it will be able.

    As for the PDO, which are in collective joint ownership, no one can deprive you of the right to them when you leave the members of the SNT, since neither the Law nor the Charter provides for this. While you have not made the conditions for transactions (for example, sale, donation, inheritance), i.e. until your memory has a new owner, to whom, according to the law will cross your right on the PDO and personal plot, you remain the full owner regardless of membership in the snt. Of course, the question of what documents confirm this right, especially in the absence of a list of persons constituting the same team in the title document, remains rather vague. But even so, the right of ownership does not disappear anywhere!

    The second nuance regarding the PDO is that the Law allows, under a special procedure, to transfer these lands from the collective joint property of gardeners to the individual property of SNT as a legal entity. Because the norms No. 66-FZ provide for the execution of a PDO only for a legal entity. In accordance with Article 14 of this law, land plots related to public property are provided to horticultural, gardening or summer cottages. non-profit association as a legal entity in the property.

    Of course, the paragraph of paragraph 4 of Article 14 of the Federal Law No. 66-FZ on assigning public lands to a legal entity contradicts the Constitution of the Russian Federation, according to which everyone has the right to own property, own, use and dispose of it both individually and jointly with other persons, but this fact is of little concern to current legislators.

    So, if desired, gardeners can change the legal regime of PDO: transfer PDO from the joint ownership of gardeners to the ownership of SNT as a legal entity. In this case, the mechanism for making decisions about the fate of the PDO becomes very simple: all decisions about the fate of the PDO are made by the General Meeting of Members of the SNT (meeting of authorized persons) by a simple majority of votes. In the event that the subject of the right to the PDO is a group of individuals, decisions on the order of the PDO are made only with the consent of ALL OWNERS.

    The general meeting, by a very simple procedure, can make a decision with some vague wording such as: "to optimize the use and disposal of the PDO in order to obtain additional financial resources."

    In the intervals between the General Meetings, based on this decision, the Board will decide, for example, to lease the PDO to some organization on unclear terms, and retroactively report to the next General Meeting. Or they may decide to sell part of the PDO to someone on the same unclear terms. In the first case, it will be the execution of the “optimization of the use of the PDO”, in the second case, the execution of the “optimization of the disposal of the PDO”.

    In addition to the above, even with a conscientious Chairman, if debts arise from SNT as a legal entity, the PDO can be transferred to another legal entity as compensation for debts in court. In this case, another legal entity will receive the right to dispose of the land, the right to charge a fee for use and possession, while the amount of the fee is not limited in any way.

    That is, when deciding on the re-registration of common lands from the collective joint ownership of gardeners to the ownership of a legal entity, each gardener renounces his part of the common property and transfers it to the ownership of SNT forever!

    After the protracted clarifications on the PDO, we want to return to the subjects of ownership of the IOP. They remain the same: an individual (persons) and snt, as a legal entity. Such a diversity of ownership rights to public property, land plots in the organization of the activities of horticultural associations, taking into account the provisions of Art. 1 RF LC and art. 271 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation is fraught with negative consequences for members of the association, which can ultimately lead to possible loss of property:

    • RF LC, article 1, clause 5: “The unity of the fate of land plots and objects firmly associated with them, according to which all objects firmly associated with land plots follow the fate of land plots, except for cases established by federal laws”;
    • Civil Code of the Russian Federation Art. 271 clause 1: “The owner of a building, structure or other real estate located on a land plot owned by another person has the right to use the land plot provided by such a person for this property”;
    • Civil Code of the Russian Federation Art. 271 clause 2: "When the ownership of real estate located on someone else's land is transferred to another person, it acquires the right to use the relevant land on the same conditions and to the same extent as the previous owner of the property."

    As we can see from the above, if any real estate is being built on the lands of common use, owned by citizens and being part of the IOP, at the expense of a special fund, i.e. for membership or entry fees, then the owner of this property (snt as a legal entity) acquires at least the right to use the land plot under this property. At the same time, the owner of the property does not pay any fee for the use of the storage facility (in the absence of a lease agreement).

    For example, the estimate adopted at the meeting on 07/06/2013 includes a special contribution for the construction of a playground. Although the Charter of St. Zvezda does not at all contain a definition of what special contributions are and which fund is formed from them, we believe that special contributions go to a special partnership fund, from which common property is created - the property of a legal entity.

    What do we get? On the land plot (it was not specified which one), which is in the collective joint ownership of citizens (COP), according to the decision of the General Meeting, the construction of a playground should take place. As we remember, the right to dispose of the PDO should be exercised only with the consent of ALL owners. Recall that the right of disposal is expressed in the right of the owner to sell, mortgage the land, donate it, exchange it, bequeath it by inheritance, lease it in parts or in full, transfer to another person for free use.

    In fact, the meeting decides on the disposal of the PDO, and this decision is valid until proven otherwise. Further, on the lands of common use - the property of citizens, the construction of a real estate object will take place, which will belong to a legal entity!

    Of course, in the absence of the interest of the owner of the land plot in preserving the property, he has the right to demand that the owner of this property demolish it and restore the site to its original state. However, due to various circumstances (for example, when the value of real estate built on such a land plot significantly exceeds the value of the plot itself allocated for development), the court may recognize the ownership of the land plot for the property owner(legal entity). Here is such a graceful expropriation of land from the population.


    So, finally, in our reasoning, we return to the stated issue of earmarked contributions. In the situation described above, if the funds for the playground were included in earmarked contributions, as provided for by Federal Law No. 66, then SNT members would have the ownership of the property, most of whom probably also own the PDO.

    Of course, this does not change the fact that it is illegal for the General Assembly to decide on the order of the PDO. However, as we remember, it is valid until someone manages to challenge it in court. But until then, a lot of firewood can be broken. To build many real estate objects, thereby free of charge by acquiring a part of the PDO for use snt (the most harmless option).

    In the case of inclusion of expenses for the creation (acquisition) of objects of common use in targeted contributions, at least members of the SNT remain insured against the "weaning" of objects of property. Since the created property will replenish the rest of the mass common joint property. The rest (non-members) can only wait until changes are made to the Charter that will restore justice and establish the procedure for compensating earmarked contributions. But that's another matter.

    The main issue, for drawing attention to which we advocated in this article, is the responsible attitude of gardeners to classifying various expense items as earmarked contributions. We insist that it is impossible to support the inclusion of expenses for stationery and household goods in earmarked contributions. As well as it is unacceptable to attribute to some special contributions what is actually an object (property) of common use and should belong to members of the SNT on the basis of common joint ownership.

    Does it still seem random to you to include in special contributions the costs of replacing a transformer with TP 421 () or building a playground ()? And these endless expenses for “household goods and materials”, “Internet for accounting”, “audit services”, which are included in targeted contributions? I wonder what kind of objects common property are made of them?

    We believe that this is a conscious redistribution of funds in favor of snt, which we, gardeners, for the most part indulge. For greater persuasiveness, we quote from the recommendations of lawyers to the Chairmen of the SNT on the legal advice website: “Realization of the last aspect by the members of the SNT can lead to a steady desire to participate in solving common property issues and set high membership fees” (meaning the aspect that it is precisely from earmarked contributions that common joint property of members partnerships, not office supplies).

    And now a few conclusions as a summary of the article:

    1. Of course, the amount of contributions to a horticultural partnership can and should be determined based on the planned needs for cash taking into account existing market prices for goods, works and services necessary for the SNT and the total number of members of the SNT - payers of contributions. However, the erroneous or intentional attribution of the costs of acquiring (creating) objects of common use not to target, but to membership fees, is fraught not only for gardeners, but also for a legal entity with negative consequences. Because it is a legal entity that is easy prey for raiders.

    2. It is absolutely inexpedient to change the old certificate with the form of ownership "collective joint" to a certificate of a new type, since the Law does not oblige citizens to do so. It is even dangerous, since the association of citizens - the collective is one right, and the organization - legal. face others. The current imperfect laws, plus a high background of corruption, can easily make people who are completely outsiders and who have nothing to do with the gardening association as owners of common lands. And then it's a matter of technology - pay for the passage to your site, if you can't - leave, leave the land or give it away for nothing.

    3. It is necessary to achieve the termination of the payment of taxes on PDO by a legal entity from membership fees. As we remember, membership fees are equal to the property of a legal entity, and PDO is still the property of citizens. To do this, you need to contact the tax service at the location of the snt with a letter in which you should inform that the PDO belongs to citizens on the basis of the right of collective joint ownership and ask, on the basis of a certificate for the PDO and in accordance with Chapter 31 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation, to charge land tax on each owner of a personal site. Attach a copy of the PDO certificate, a list of citizens who are co-owners of the PDO. The Federal Tax Service itself will calculate the tax and send out tax notices.

    4. It is necessary to develop a clear position as to which contributions should include fees for the use of common property, including the PDO. In our opinion, in order to avoid unnecessary difficulties with the subsequent attribution of the object of common use to the property of individuals or a legal entity, it is necessary to include such a fee in targeted contributions. So the owners of the IOP - members of the SNT will bear the burden of maintaining THEIR property. The payment for the IEP owned by the legal entity, respectively, should be included in membership fees.

    5. As for individual gardeners and other snt. As we remember, according to p. 4.4.7. Charter of the snt "Star" "to a person who retired (expelled) from the members of the snt, do not return targeted contributions made by him for the construction, repair and operation of public infrastructure elements. We consider this clause of the Charter to be contrary to Article 16, clause 4 of the Federal Law No. 66, which states that the Association’s Charter states “ procedure for paying the value of a property or the issuance of part of the property in kind in the event of a citizen's withdrawal from the membership of such an association or the liquidation of such an association. The Law does not mention that earmarked contributions are not subject to compensation.

    In our opinion, an adequate wording for this paragraph of the Articles of Association would be something like: “to the person leaving the partnership, the value of his part of the property of common use is paid to him in the amount of targeted contributions made by him from the funds of the trust fund, unless otherwise provided by the Articles of Association. In case of refusal to receive compensation, the person leaving the partnership retains the right to a part of the IEP. In this case, it will be very easy to determine the amount of the payment; it is enough to add up the targeted contributions paid by the gardener during his membership. At the same time, part of the IOP is alienated in favor of the remaining participants in joint ownership.

    In the Statutes of many syndicates, the following wording is common: “contributions for the creation of common use property are reimbursed to those who leave the partnership, minus the cost of depreciation of the common use property.” However, in this case, the payment of compensation stumbles over the cost of depreciation, and if the board (meeting), going towards the gardener, does not determine the cost of depreciation by a willful decision, the exiting one will have to decide the issue of the cost of depreciation, perhaps only within the framework of a forensic audit examination, whose cost may turn out to be much more than the amount of targeted contributions made to the cash desk of the partnership. The above wording, obviously, will not benefit anyone, complicating the procedure for the return of contributions for the gardener, and threatening the partnership with significant legal costs when collecting contributions paid through the court. At the same time, we consider it unlawful to completely deprive a departing member of the SNT of compensation for his part of the IEP.

    6. Further, it is necessary to provide for the case when the departing member (but still a member of the SNT), when alienating the site, alienates its part of the IOP to the acquirer in the amount of earmarked contributions. Of course, we do not agree with the wording on this issue of the Charter (clause 4.1.6.) of the Zvezda snt. Yes, and in Law No. 66-FZ, eclecticism is noticeable: on the one hand, the Law states that the IEP of members of the snt is jointly owned (that is, without determining shares), and on the other hand, it points to the mode of shared ownership.

    We believe that this contradiction can be eliminated by introducing into the Charter of the Zvezda snt approximately the following wording: “when alienating a garden plot, a snt member has the right to simultaneously alienate to the acquirer a part of the common use property as part of the snt, proportional to the size of the earmarked contributions made by him. At the same time, his membership in the SNT is terminated, and compensation for part of the IOP is not paid to him. Here we mean that he has the right to compensate for his losses in the event of alienation at the expense of the acquirer (for example, by increasing the cost of the site).

    “He also has the right to alienate a part of the property of common use as part of the snt, proportional to the size of the earmarked contributions made by him, in favor of the rest of the participants in joint ownership. At the same time, his membership in the SNT is terminated, and compensation for part of the IEP is paid to him at the expense of the trust fund.

    As a result, we get:

    NEW NON-MEMBER OF SNT ——— PART OWNER OF IEP

    May join the SNT without paying targeted contributions to the cash desk of the partnership, proportional to the part of the IOP. Keeping gardening on an individual basis, will be required to pay only the amount for the use of the IOP, not exceeding that for members of the snt.

    NEW NON-MEMBER SNT ——— WITHOUT IOP PART

    Can join the SNT with the payment of targeted contributions to the cash desk of the partnership, proportional to the part of the IOP. Keeping gardening on an individual basis, he will be obliged to pay not only the amount for the use of the IEP, but also to compensate for the costs of creating and acquiring the IOP, while becoming the owner of the corresponding part of it (see the previous paragraph). In case of unwillingness to acquire a part of the IOP in the property, he will pay the amount for the use of the IOP + an additional coefficient for not being the owner.

    RETIRED SNT MEMBER ——— PART OWNER OF IEP

    May re-enter the SNT without paying targeted contributions to the cash desk of the partnership, proportional to the part of the IOP. Keeping gardening on an individual basis, will be required to pay only the amount for the use of the IOP, not exceeding that for members of the snt.

    RETIRED SNT MEMBER ——— WITHOUT PART OF IOP

    May re-enter the SNT with the payment to the coffers of the partnership of targeted contributions proportional to the part of the IOP. Keeping gardening on an individual basis, he will be obliged to pay not only the amount for the use of the IEP, but also to compensate for the costs of creating and acquiring the IOP, while becoming the owner of the corresponding part of it (see the previous paragraph). In case of unwillingness to acquire a part of the IOP in the property, he will pay the amount for the use of the IOP + an additional coefficient for not being the owner.

    Offering such a scheme for calculating compensation for targeted contributions, we put at the forefront the norms of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation, namely the sections of the Code devoted to the protection of property rights. So, according to Article 212, paragraph 2. The property may be in property of citizens and legal entities , as well as the Russian Federation, subjects of the Russian Federation, municipalities».
    The wording of Article 4, Clause 2 of Federal Law No. 66 regarding the fact that in the snt “common property acquired or created by such a partnership at the expense of earmarked contributions is the joint property of its members”, we consider it incorrect and entails Negative consequences for both members and non-members of the SNT in the form of unnecessary confusion, red tape, problems with the conclusion of contracts for the use of IEP, etc. In addition, we consider it unconstitutional, since membership in the SNT is a voluntary matter, and, ceasing to be a member, the subject of law does not cease be a citizen. And no one has the right to deprive him of a part of his property.

    In the formulations of the Charter we propose, we leave the citizen the right to choose: whether to be the owner of a part of the IOP with the termination of membership in the partnership and bear the burden of maintaining it on an equal basis with other owners, or to refuse a part of the IOP with the receipt of appropriate compensation. In case of refusal of a part of the IEP and gardening on an individual basis, he will pay a fee for the right to use the IOP using a multiplying coefficient, since he is not the owner.

    Many may object that such a calculation of payments is contrary to the provisions of Article 8, Clause 2 of the Federal Law No. 66, which states that the amount of payment for the use of an IEP "cannot exceed the amount of payment for the use of the specified property for members of such an association." However, we hasten to draw the attention of readers to the clarification in the same article of the Federal Law No. 66: "provided that they make contributions for the acquisition (creation) of the specified property."

    So, having paid earmarked contributions, citizen, although not a member of the SNT, formally still becomes the owner of a proportionally paid part of the IEP, and also bears the burden of maintaining it on an equal footing with the owner-members. Fair? In the event that he renounces his part of the property with the alienation of it in favor of the remaining co-owners, it is obvious that their shares of the IOP increase. Accordingly, the burden of maintaining property for its owners also increases. This percentage, which increases the burden of maintenance, that is, the payment for the use of IEP for owners, we propose to use as the basis for calculating the multiplying coefficient for non-members-non-owners.
