Accounting for a garage-construction cooperative: everything is not easy

January 22, 2021

GSK are non-profit associations of citizens created with very specific goals. Construction and subsequent use of garages are carried out using contributions from members of the organization, and borrowed funds can also be raised. Current legislation requires recording all receipts and expenses. Accordingly, a non-profit association cannot do without competent accounting. Fixed funds in GSK come from participants. These are share contributions at the construction stage, one-time contributions when joining a cooperative, and membership fees when using garages. The procedure for making and the amount of contributions are determined by the constituent documents and local regulations of the organization. As for depositing funds by participants, cash and non-cash options are possible. Different types of contributions are reflected in different accounting accounts. Are you going to keep records of GSK? Please note that share contributions are recorded on account 96 (it is mandatory to open a separate sub-account for such contributions!). And one-time and periodic entrance fees are accumulated in account 86. And one more important point: according to current legislation, membership fees are not included in the tax base.

GSK, being a non-profit organization created for specific purposes, must bear purely targeted expenses. First of all, this concerns shares. Funds should be spent only on construction. Questions often arise regarding the size of share contributions. It is recommended to calculate them based on the cost of future parking spaces.

One-time entrance and periodic contributions are also targeted. Using these funds, GSK pays utilities and pays salaries to employees of the non-profit association. Other needs are determined by the general meeting. Membership fees cannot be used for third-party, non-targeted expenses. This must be taken into account by an accountant who reflects the facts of economic activity in accounting, calculates taxes and draws up reports. Can GSK conduct commercial activities? Yes, but under certain conditions (this also applies to other non-profit associations). Profit taxation is carried out in accordance with the applicable regime. Let us separately note the nuances of property taxation. If the property is on balance sheet, a legal entity, that is, a cooperative, calculates and pays taxes. If the owners are members of the GSK, they pay the tax themselves. Well, we’re done with the introductions, let’s move on to the specifics.

Contributions paid by cooperative shareholders

» In accordance with paragraph 4, paragraph 1, art. 8 of Law No. 190-FZ, the charter must provide

“conditions on the amount of share contributions ... of shareholders, on the composition and procedure for making share and other contributions, on the responsibility of ... shareholders for violation of obligations to make shares and other contributions”

. Thus, the charter must determine the composition and procedure for making share and other contributions, as well as the amount of the share and entrance fee if you provide for the obligation to make it.

The law establishes the following type of contributions that a shareholder must make upon joining and during the period of membership in the cooperative: Entry fee - if this is provided for by the charter; Share contribution; Membership fee - if provided for by the charter.

Partnerships are coming up with a variety of ways to “stimulate” gardeners, in an attempt to collect contributions from everyone and on time.

The first thing they resort to is setting penalties... What should be the size of the penalty in SNT?

Contrary to popular belief, the amount of penalties for late payment of membership and target fees to SNT is not tied to the refinancing rate/key rate.

The size of the penalty can really be any. In our practice, the most common fine is 0.2% of the debt amount for each day of delay.

How much is the penalty for late payment of membership fees to GSK?

Hello! I am a member of the GSK. I paid the target fee for 2021 back in January and then paid the membership fee for the first quarter. The second quarter is coming to an end and I am ready to pay it, but the chairman demands a 500 ruble fine for late payment. And this despite the fact that the contribution itself is 1000 rubles. The quarter isn't over yet. Is this legal?

I paid for the question via phone in the amount of 89 rubles and I received an SMS that the payment had arrived, but for some reason I received a message by email that my question was free and was in the general queue. What does it mean?

Much depends on what is stated in the Charter of the Cooperative.

Garage cooperatives are a type of consumer cooperatives, the activities of which are regulated by Art. 116 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation (Civil Code of the Russian Federation)

Demand justification for such actions from the chairman of the State Joint Committee, whether penalties, payment procedures, etc. are prescribed in the State Joint Stock Company Charter. In addition, I advise you to familiarize yourself with the GSK Charter.

Hello, Elena! A garage cooperative is a consumer cooperative. Regarding fees and fines, everything should be written down in the charter of the cooperative, as well as in the minutes of general meetings. Ask the chairman to review these documents before paying. According to Article 123.2 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation

1. A consumer cooperative is recognized as a voluntary association of citizens or citizens and legal entities based on membership in order to satisfy their material and other needs, carried out by combining property share contributions by its members. A mutual insurance society may be based on the membership of legal entities. (as amended by Federal Law dated May 23, 2016 N 146-FZ)

2. The charter of a consumer cooperative must contain information about the name and location of the cooperative, the subject and purpose of its activities, conditions on the amount of share contributions of members of the cooperative, the composition and procedure for making share contributions by members of the cooperative and their responsibility for violating the obligation to make share contributions , o the composition and competence of the cooperative’s bodies and the procedure for their decision-making, including on issues on which decisions are made unanimously or by a qualified majority of votes, and the procedure for covering losses incurred by members of the cooperative.

The law on garage cooperatives - does it exist or is it a myth?

These problems are associated, first of all, with the fact that there is no comprehensive legal regulation of those issues that arise with the participation of such objects in civil circulation. Even the legal status and position of members of civil construction cooperatives (CSCs), including the duties and rights of their members, remains unclear. In general, the garage cooperative has been somewhat bypassed by legislation, despite the fact that such organizations have been registered in the country since Soviet times.

Debriefing

For our man, a garage is not only a place to sleep for the faithful “iron horse”, but also a place of mental rest. Who doesn’t like to gather with friends in silence, discuss the latest world problems over a glass of light food, eating it all with a hot kebab on a delicious marinade...

We have a garage and construction cooperative. GSK members pay operating fees and entrance fees in cash and (or) transfer to a current account. We also receive payments for property rental from individuals to their bank account. In addition, we issue salaries in cash from the cash register. Do we need to use CCT for any of these transactions?

GSK contributions . If a cooperative accepts contributions, it is not obliged to use cash register payments for such payments, since such payments are not payment for goods, work or services. The Ministry of Finance agrees with this (letter dated March 30, 2021 N 03-01-15/20628).

Question

Rent payment . Renting out property to individuals is a service to the public. Companies that provide services to the public can delay the transition to online cash registers until 07/01/2021 if they issue BSO according to the rules of the law on cash register systems in the old version (clause 8 of article 7 of Law No. 290-FZ). The old version said that forms can only be issued by companies or individual entrepreneurs that accept payment for services in cash or by card. If a physicist pays for rent by bank transfer, such payments are exempt from cash register until July 1, 2021, with the exception of payment by electronic means of payment (Clause 4, Article 4 of Federal Law No. 192-FZ dated 07/03/2021). Thus, if a client pays in cash through a bank operator, then such payments are exempt from cash register until 07/01/2021. If the client pays with a card at a bank or through an online bank, then when making payments using such an electronic means, checks must be punched now (Clause 9, Article 7 of Law No. 290 Federal Law). Local inspectors also advise this.

It is necessary to apply for the purchase of rights to a plot of land. If it is necessary to privatize a single plot of land for garage boxes, the application must be one - on behalf of all shareholders of the cooperative. We submit the application to the local administration. We add to it the documents that appear in the “List of documents attached to the application for the acquisition of rights to a plot of land that is in state or municipal ownership...”. This list was approved by order of the Ministry of Economic Development and Trade of Russia. These are the documents:

An entry fee is required when becoming a member of the garage cooperative. However, you decide for yourself whether you want to join a garage cooperative or not; this is your right, not your obligation. Even a court cannot force you to take such actions. The presence or absence of ownership of a real estate property in a garage cannot in any way be associated with your decision to refuse to join the garage cooperative or with joining the cooperative. My advice to you is that if you don’t want to incur additional expenses as a member of a garage cooperative, for which the decisions of the general meeting of the GSK are mandatory, do not become members of the cooperative and do not write any applications to join it

Is it legal to charge an entry fee when buying a long-built garage in the city?

In the event of a fee violation, the chairman shall prepare a written notice to the violating participant.

I bought a garage from a garage cooperative. I pay membership fees for the garage. The cooperative obliges me to pay an entrance fee of 500 rubles. This amount hangs like a debt, for which they threaten to turn off the lights. How legal are the actions of the cooperative?

Liquidation is the cessation of the activities of an enterprise. It can take place by decision of the shareholders themselves or the court. You should know how liquidation works in 2021. To do this you need to perform a number of actions:

  1. Registration of the decision of the general meeting of participants or obtaining a court decision.
  2. Notification of Rosreestr about the start of the procedure.
  3. Appointment of a liquidation commission at a meeting of participants.
  4. Placing information in the official publication about the intention to liquidate GSK.
  5. Collection of information about the financial condition of the organization, collection of receivables and repayment of accounts payable.
  6. Drawing up the balance sheet of the GSK. Note that closing a garage consumer cooperative with a zero balance is the best option, since collecting other people’s debts or the need to pay your own will not become obstacles to the liquidation of the association.

Special mention should be made of the legislation of the Russian Federation, which many mistakenly apply to the regulation of relations in civil society cooperatives, whereas in fact its provisions do not apply to garage cooperatives:

  1. Law “On Agricultural Cooperation” No. 193-FZ of December 8, 1995.
  2. Law “On Consumer Cooperation in the Russian Federation” No. 3085-I of June 19, 1992.

Expulsion and withdrawal from the cooperative

Often lawyers are faced with a situation where a garage is sold or purchased at GSK using a membership book. Such a transaction is possible, but there will be consequences associated with the state registration of the cooperative itself:

  1. The association was created under the Soviet Union and did not undergo re-registration. When concluding a transaction, you need to make the appropriate entries in the book, rewrite the property registration card, and approve the new member of the cooperative. However, in this case, it is still impossible to register the garage as a person’s property. The buyer only becomes a member of the cooperative, and an unregistered one.
  2. The cooperative is registered, but the boxes are not properly decorated. The transfer of ownership of a building is still carried out within the organization; it is also impossible to obtain a certificate of ownership of a garage.
  3. Boxing is registered to a private person. Provides for the ordinary purchase and sale of real estate. It is not necessary to obtain the consent of the cooperative members.

What is a share agreement in a housing cooperative?

The procedure for concluding an agreement between a housing cooperative and a shareholder is regulated by the provisions of 215-FZ. The agreement between the shareholders and the housing cooperative defines such a key point in their relationship as the timing and procedure for transferring real estate from the cooperative to the shareholder, the amount of contributions and the timing of their payment.

A share agreement in a housing cooperative is an official legal confirmation of the shareholder’s right to a share in a house under construction. It is necessary to check the following aspects: who is the developer, when is the planned delivery of the property, and what are the conditions for making share contributions.

Also, before concluding a contract, you must carefully check the documentation of the HOA itself:

  • land title certificate;
  • terms of the housing cooperative's charter;
  • a document confirming the inclusion of housing cooperatives in a special register;
  • availability of design documentation for development;
  • When does a building permit expire?.
