(2) Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 385/2012 of 30 April 2012 on the farm return to be used for determining the incomes of agricultural holdings and analysing the business operation of such holdings (OJ L 127, 15.5.2012, p. 1).
ANNEX
‘ANNEX
FARM RETURN
I. LAYOUT OF FARM RETURN
The data to be collected is classified by table and broken down into groups, categories and columns. The convention used to refer to a specific data field is: <table letter>.<group>.<category>[.<category>].<column>.
Specific data values are captured at the column level. In the tables as set out in Section III, clear cells are where data values can be accepted; greyed cells marked with a “-” have no meaning in the group context, so no data is accepted in those.
Examples:
— |
B.UT.20.A (column A of the group UT, category 20, from table B) represents the “Area” of “Rented UAA” to be recorded under the “UAA for tenant farming” in table B. |
— |
I.A.10110.1.0.TA (column TA of the group A, category 10110, from table I) represents the total area of “Common wheat and spelt” for type of crop 1 “Field scale crops — main crop, combined crop” and missing data code 0 “No data missing”). |
Tables are represented by one letter, groups by one or more letters, categories by numeric codes and columns by one or more letters.
In Section III, for tables A to M, the first table shows the high level matrix for groups and columns. The second table shows how this breaks down for categories where each category is represented by one or more codes and sub-codes.
For each table category and column value, further definitions and instructions are set out in Section III after the table concerned.
II. GENERAL DEFINITIONS AND INSTRUCTIONS
(a) |
The data in the farm return shall relate to a single agricultural holding and to a single accounting year of 12 consecutive months. |
(b) |
Data in the farm return concern exclusively the agricultural holding. These data refer to the agricultural activities of the holding and to the other gainful activities (OGA) directly related to the holding. Except these activities, nothing connected with any non-farming activities of the holder or of his family, or with any pension, inheritance, private bank accounts, property external to the agricultural holding, personal taxation, private insurance, etc., is to be taken into account in preparing the farm returns. |
(c) |
Data given in a farm return are to be taken from accounts consisting of entries made systematically and regularly throughout the accounting year. |
(d) |
The accountancy data are expressed in money terms without VAT. |
(e) |
The accountancy data in money terms are expressed without taking into account grants and subsidies. Grants and subsidies are understood to be all forms of direct aid from public funds which have resulted in a specific receipt (see description in Table M “SUBSIDIES”). |
(f) |
The data in a farm return should be given in the following units and with the following degrees of accuracy:
— financial values: values in euro or in national monetary units without decimal. However, for national currencies where the unit represents a low relative value compared to the euro, it may be agreed between the liaison agency of the Member State in question and the staff of the Commission which manages the Farm Accountancy Data Network, to express the values in hundreds or thousands of national currency units, — physical quantities: weight in quintals (q = 100 kg) except in the case of eggs, which will be expressed in thousands; volume of liquid in hectolitres (including wine and related products), — areas: in ares, except in the case of mushrooms which will be expressed in square metres of total cropped area, — average livestock numbers: to two decimal places, — labour units: to two decimal places. |
(g) |
When a value is not relevant or missing for any particular holding, do not enter value “0”. |

A.ID. Identification of the holding
A number is assigned to each returning holding when it is selected for the first time. The holding retains this number permanently for the duration of its inclusion in the accountancy network. A number once assigned is never allotted to another holding.
However, where the holding undergoes a fundamental change, and in particular where this change is the result of a subdivision into two separate holdings or of a merger with another holding, it may be considered as a new holding. In this case a new number is to be assigned to it. A change in the type of farming practised on the holding does not call for a new number. Where confusion with any other returning holding might result from the holding keeping the number it has (e.g. when new regional subdivisions are created), the number should be changed. A table showing the equivalence of old and new numbers is then to be forwarded to the Commission.
The holding number comprises three groups of indications as follows:
A.ID.10.R. Division: a code number is to be given, corresponding to the code set in Annex to Commission Regulation (EU) No 1291/2009 (1). |
A.ID.10.S. Subdivision: a code number is to be given. The subdivisions chosen should be based on the common system of classification of the regions, referred to as the nomenclature of territorial statistical units (NUTS) established by the Eurostat in cooperation with the national institutes for statistics. In any case, the Member State concerned will transmit to the Commission a table indicating, for each subdivision code used, the corresponding NUTS regions, as well as the corresponding region for which specific values of standard output are calculated. |
A.ID.10.H. Serial number of the holding. |
A.LO. Location of the holding
The location of the holding is given with two indications: the geo-reference (latitude and longitude) and the code of the NUTS level 3 territorial units.
A.LO.20. Latitude: degrees and minutes (within an arc of 5 minutes), columns DG and MI. |
A.LO.30. Longitude: degrees and minutes (within an arc of 5 minutes), columns DG and MI. Implementing rules to ensure the confidentiality of the data and practical guidelines will be specified in the instructions document. |
A.LO.40.N. The NUTS3 code means the code of the NUTS level 3 territorial unit where the holding is located. The latest version of the code as described in the Regulation (EC) No 1059/2003 of the European Parliament and of the Council (2) should be given. |
A.AI. Accounting information
A.AI.50.AO. Number of the accounting office: a code number is to be given. In each Member State, each accounting office should be given a unique number. The number of the accounting office which has dealt with the holding for this accounting year should be given. |
A.AI.60.C. Type of accounting: an indication is to be given on the type of accounting that the farm keeps. The following code numbers are to be used:
|
A.AI.70.DT. Date of closure of accounts: to be recorded in format “YYYY-MM-DD”, for example 2009-06-30 or 2009-12-31. |
A.TY. Typology
A.TY.80.W. National weight of the farm: the value of the extrapolating factor calculated by the Member State should be given. Values must be expressed with two decimals. |
A.TY.90.TF. Type of farming at the time of selection: holding type of farming code in accordance with Annex I to Commission Regulation (EC) No 1242/2008 (3) at the time of selection for the accounting year in question. |
A.TY.90.ES. Economic size at the time of selection: economic size class code of holding in accordance with Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 1242/2008 at the time of selection for accounting year in question. |
A.CL. Classes
A.CL.100.C. Other gainful activities directly related to the holding: to be provided as a percentage band indicating the share of turnover (4) coming from the other gainful activities directly related to the holding in the total farm turnover. The following code numbers are to be used:
|
A.CL.110.C. Type of ownership/economic objective: an indication of what are the ownership and economic objectives of the holding should be given. The following code numbers should be used: 1. family farm: the holding uses the labour and capital of the holder/manager and his/her family and they are the beneficiaries of the economic activity; 2. partnership: the production factors for the holding are provided by several partners, at least some of whom participate in the work of the farm as unpaid labour. The benefits go to the partnership; 3. company with profit objective: the benefits are used to remunerate shareholders with dividends/profits. The holding is owned by the company; 4. company with non-profit objective: the benefits are used primarily to maintain employment or similar social objective. The holding is owned by the company. |
A.CL.120.C. Legal status: an indication should be given whether the holding is a legal person or not. The following code numbers are to be used:
|
A.CL.130.C. Level of liability of the holder(s): an indication is to be given on the level of liability (economic responsibility) of the (main) holder. The following code numbers are to be used:

Sectors in organic farming: when the holding applies both organic and other production methods, an indication of the sectors of production where the holding applies only organic production method should be given (multiple selections are allowed). The code numbers listed below are to be used. When the holding applies both organic and other production methods for all its sectors of production, the code “not applicable” should be used.
|
A.CL.150.C. Protected Designation of Origin/Protected Geographical Indication: an indication is to be given whether the holding produces agricultural products and/or foodstuffs protected by a Designation of Origin (PDO) or a Geographical Indication (PGI) or whether it produces agricultural products which are known to be used to produce foodstuffs protected by PDO/PGI, within the meaning of Council Regulation (EC) No 510/2006 (5). The following code numbers are to be used:
|
A.CL.151.C. Sectors with Protected Designation of Origin/Protected Geographical Indication: if the majority of the production of some specific sectors is made of products or foodstuffs protected by a PDO or a PGI or of products known to be used to produce foodstuffs protected by a PDO or a PGI, an indication of the sectors of production should be given (multiple selections are allowed). The code numbers listed below are to be used. When the holding produces some products or foodstuffs protected by a PDO or a PGI or some products known to be used to produce foodstuffs protected by a PDO or a PGI, but it does not concern the majority of production in each sector, the code “not applicable” should be used.
|
The items A.CL.150.C. Protected Designation of Origin/Protected Geographical Indication and A.CL.151.C are optional for the Member States. If they are applied by the Member State, they should be filled in for all sample farms of the Member State. If A.CL.150.C is applied, A.CL.151.C should be applied as well. |

Land of holdings held in common by two or more partners should be recorded as owner-occupied, rented or sharecropped according to the arrangement in force between the partners.
Utilised agricultural area (UAA) is the total area taken up by arable land, permanent grassland, permanent crops and kitchen gardens used by the holding regardless of the type of tenure. Common land used by the holding is not included.
The following groups of information and categories should be used:
B.UO. UAA for owner farming
B.UO.10.A Utilised agricultural area (arable land, permanent grassland, permanent crops and kitchen gardens) of which the farmer is the owner, tenant for life or leaseholder and/or UAA held on similar terms. Includes land leased to others ready for sowing (crop code 11300).
B.UT. UAA for tenant farming
B.UT.20.A Utilised agricultural area (arable land, permanent grassland, permanent crops and kitchen gardens) worked by a person other than the owner, tenant for life or leaseholder, holding a tenancy on the said area (the rent is payable in cash and/or in kind; being generally fixed in advance, it does not normally vary with the farming results) and/or utilised agricultural area held on similar terms of tenure.
Rented area does not include land the harvest of which is bought as a standing crop. The sums paid for the purchase of standing crops should be given in table H under codes 2020 to 2040 (purchased feedstuffs) in the case of grassland or fodder crops and under code 3090 (other specific crop costs) in the case of marketable crops (products which are usually marketed). Marketable crops bought standing should be given without specifying the area in question (table H).
Land rented for less than one year on an occasional basis and the production thereof is treated in a similar way as land the harvest of which is bought as a standing crop.
B.US. UAA for sharecropping or other modes
B.US.30.A Utilised agricultural area (arable land, grassland and permanent pasture, permanent crops and kitchen gardens) farmed jointly by the grantor and the sharecropper on the basis of a sharecropping agreement and/or utilised agricultural area farmed on similar terms.

By labour is meant all persons who have been engaged on work on the farm during the accounting year (see hereafter). However, this does not include persons who have done this work on behalf of another person or undertaking (agricultural contract work, of which the costs appear in table H under code 1020).
In the case of mutual assistance between holdings, where this assistance consists of an exchange of work, the assistance received being equivalent in principle to the assistance given, the time worked by the farm labour and any related wages are specified in the farm return.
Sometimes assistance received is offset by assistance of another kind (e.g. aid received in the form of work is offset by the supply of machinery). When the exchange of services is on a limited scale, nothing is indicated in the farm return (in the above example, the aid received is not shown under labour; machinery costs, however, include the costs of making the equipment available). In exceptional cases, when the exchange of services is on a large scale, the procedure is one of the following:
(a) |
assistance received in the form of work is offset by a service of another kind (e.g. the supply of machinery): working time received is recorded as paid farm work (groups PR or PC depending on whether the labour is employed on the farm on a regular basis or otherwise); the value of the assistance given is recorded both as production under the corresponding category in other tables (in this example, table L category 2010 “Contractual work”) and as a cost (table H category 1010 “Wages and social security”); |
(b) |
assistance given in the form of work is offset by services of a different kind (e.g. the supply of machinery): in this situation the working time provided and any related wages are left out of consideration; the value of the service received is recorded as an input under the corresponding group in another table (in this example, table H group 1020 “Contract work and machinery hire”). |
The following groups of information and categories of labour are to be distinguished:
C.UR. Unpaid regular labour
Unpaid labour or labour which receives less remuneration (in cash or in kind) than the amount normally paid for the services rendered (such payment should not appear in farm costs) and which during the accounting year participated (outside normal holidays) for at least a whole day of each week.
A person employed regularly but who, for special reasons, has been engaged on the farm only for a limited period in the accounting year is nevertheless entered (for the number of hours actually worked) as regular labour.
The following cases or similar ones may arise:
(a) |
special production conditions on the farm for which labour is not required throughout the year: e.g. olive or vine holdings, and farms specialising in the seasonal fattening of animals or in the production of fruit and vegetables in the open; |
(b) |
absence from work other than for normal holidays, e.g. military service, illness, accident, maternity, extended leave, etc.; |
(c) |
joining or leaving the holding; |
(d) |
total cessation of work on the holding due to accidental causes (flood, fire, etc.). |
There are the following categories:
C.UR.10. Holder/manager
Person who assumes economic and legal responsibility for the holding and undertakes its day-to-day management. In the case of sharecropping, the sharecropper is indicated as holder/manager.
C.UR.20. Holder/not manager
Person who assumes economic and legal responsibility for the holding without undertaking its day-to-day management.
C.UR.30 Manager/not holder
Person who undertakes day-to-day management of the holding without assumption of economic and legal responsibility for it.
C.UR.40. Spouse(s) of holder(s)
C.UR.50. Other unpaid regular labour
Regular unpaid labour not included in the preceding categories includes also foreman and sub-managers not responsible for management of the whole farm.
C.UC. Unpaid casual labour
C.UC.60. Unpaid labour which has not worked regularly on the holding during the accounting year is aggregated under this category.
C.PR. Paid regular labour
Labour paid (in cash and/or in kind) on the normal scale for services rendered and which during the accounting year (excluding normal holidays) worked for at least one whole day per week for the holding.
The following categories are to be shown:
C.PR.70. Farm manager
Salaried person responsible for the day-to-day management of the holding.
C.PR.50. Others
All regular paid labour (except for the holding’s salaried manager) is aggregated under this group. Includes also foreman and sub-managers not responsible for management of the whole farm.
C.PC. Paid casual labour
C.PC.60. |
Paid labour which did not regularly work on the holding during the accounting year (including piece workers) is aggregated under this category. |
COLUMNS IN TABLE C
Number of persons (column P)
Where there are several holders, there may be more than one spouse. The number of spouses and the number of persons should be indicated in the categories where they can appear (categories 40 and 50 from the groups “unpaid regular labour” UR or “paid regular labour” PR).
Gender (column G)
The gender should be given only the holder(s) and/or manager(s), in the categories where they can appear (categories 10 to 30 and 70 from groups “regular unpaid labour” UR or “regular paid labour” PR). The gender is indicated by a code number, i.e.:
1. |
male; |
2. |
female. |
Year of birth (column B)
The year of birth should be given only for the holder(s) and/or manager(s) (categories 10 to 30 and 70 from groups “regular unpaid labour” UR or “regular paid labour” PR) using the four figures of the year of birth.
Agricultural training of the manager (column T)
The agricultural training should be given only the manager(s) (categories 10, 30 and 70 from groups “unpaid regular labour” UR or “paid regular labour” PR). The agricultural training is indicated by a code number, i.e.:
1. |
only practical agricultural experience; |
2. |
basic agricultural training; |
3. |
full agricultural training. |
Annual time worked (column Y1)
Time worked should be indicated in hours for all groups and categories. It should refer to the time actually devoted to the work of the holding. In the case of less able workers the time worked should be reduced in proportion to their capacities. The time worked by piecework labour is estimated by dividing the total amount paid for the work by the hourly wage of a worker employed on a time basis.
Total work force: number of annual units (column W1)
Regularly employed work force is converted into annual work units. The number of annual work unit is not recorded for casual labour (both unpaid casual UC and paid casual PC labour). One annual work unit is equivalent to one person working full-time on the holding. One person cannot exceed one work unit equivalent, even if his actual working time exceeds the norm for the region and type of holding. A person who does not work the whole year on the holding represents a fraction of an “annual unit”. The “annual work unit” of each such person is obtained by dividing his actual annual working time by the normal annual working time of a full-time worker in the region under consideration and on the same type of holding.
In the case of less able workers the annual work unit equivalent should be reduced in proportion to their capacities.
Share of work for other gainful activities directly related to the holding (OGA) in % of annual time worked (column Y2)
The share of work for OGA in terms of time worked is compulsory only for the casual labour (for both unpaid and paid casual labour). It is optional for the spouse(s) of the holder(s), the other unpaid regular labour, and the other paid regular labour. For each category concerned (40, 50, 60), it is given in % of hours worked during the accounting year.
Share of work for other gainful activities directly related to the holding (OGA) in % of annual work units (column W2)
The share of work for OGA in terms of annual work units is compulsory for all categories of labour except casual labour (both unpaid casual UC and paid casual PC labour). It is given in % of annual work unit for each category.
Work on an agricultural holding
Work on the holding includes all the work of organisation, supervision and execution, both manual and administrative, done in connection with the farm agricultural work and the work related to the Other Gainful Activities (OGA) directly related to the holding:
— |
Farm agricultural work

3010. Agricultural land
Agricultural land owned by the holding.
3020. Land improvements
Land improvements (e.g. fencing, drainage, fixed irrigation equipment) belonging to the holder irrespective of the type of occupancy of the land. The amounts entered are subject to depreciation at column DY.
3030. Farm buildings
Buildings belonging to the holder whatever the type of occupancy of the land. The heading must be completed and the amounts entered are subject to depreciation at column DY.
4010. Machinery and equipment
Tractors, motor cultivators, lorries, vans, cars, major and minor farming equipment. The heading must be completed and the amounts entered are subject to depreciation at column DY.
5010. Forest land including standing timber
Forest land in owner occupation included in the agricultural holding.
7010. Intangible assets — tradable
All intangible assets that can be easily bought or sold (e.g. quotas and rights when they are tradable without land and an active market exists).
7020. Intangible assets — non-tradable
All other intangible assets (e.g. software, licences, etc.). The heading must be completed and the amounts entered are subject to depreciation at column DY.
8010. Other non-current assets

Groups of information in Table D
The groups of information are: (OV) opening valuation, (AD) accumulated depreciation, (DY) depreciation of the current year, (IP) investment or purchase before deduction of subsidies, (S) subsidies, (SA) sales, (CV) closing valuation. They are explained hereafter.
There is only one column (V) value.
Valuation methods
The following valuation methods are used:
fair value less the estimate point-of-sale costs |
amount for which an asset could be exchanged, or a liability settled, between knowledgeable, willing parties in an arm’s length transaction less the cost estimated to incur in relation to the sale |
2010, 3010, 5010, 7010 |
historical cost |
nominal or original cost of an asset when acquired |
3020, 3030, 4010, 7020 |
book value |
value at which an asset is carried on a balance sheet |
1010, 1020, 1030, 1040, 8010 |
D.OV. Opening valuation
Opening valuation is the value of assets at the beginning of the accounting year. For the farms present in the sample also in the previous year, the opening valuation has to be equal to the closing valuation of the previous year.
D.AD. Accumulated depreciation
Is the sum of depreciation of assets from the start of its life until the end of the previous period.
D.DY. Depreciation of the current year
Systematic allocation of the depreciable amount of an asset over its useful life.
A table with the annual rates of depreciation applied by each Member State should be communicated to the Commission observing the same deadlines as those set for introduction of annual data.
D.IP. Investments/Purchases
Total expenditure on purchases, major repairs and the production of fixed assets during the accounting year. Where grants and subsidies have been received in respect of these investments, the amount expended before deducting the said grants and subsidies is entered in column IP.
Purchases of minor items of machinery and equipment as well as of young trees and bushes for a minor replanting operation do not appear in these columns but are included in the costs for the accounting year.
Major repairs which effectively increase the value of the machinery and equipment compared to their value before repair, are also included under this column, either as an integral part of the machinery or equipment depreciation, which, as appropriate, will be adjusted to take account of the extended life (due to the repairs) of the item in question or by spreading the cost of the major repairs over the expected useful life.
The value of the fixed assets produced is to be assessed on the basis of their cost (including the value of the paid and/or unpaid labour) and must be added to the value of the fixed assets given under codes 2010 to 8010 of table D “ASSETS”.
D.S. Investment subsidies
Current portion of all subsidies received (in previous or current accounting years) for assets recorded in this table.
D.SA. Sales
Total sales of assets during the accounting year.
D.CV. Closing valuation
Closing valuation is the value of assets at the end of the accounting year.
Comments
For items 2010, 3010, 5010 and 7010 the difference between OV+IP-SA and CV is considered as an income or loss (coming from both change in unit price and volume) for these assets for the accounting year.
Information about Biological assets — animals is recorded in the table J “Livestock production”.

1. Normal VAT system— the VAT system which is guaranteed to be income-neutral for agricultural holdings as the VAT balance is cleared with tax authorities.
2. Partial offsetting system— the VAT system which does not guarantee to be income-neutral for agricultural holdings, although it may contain some approximate mechanism to offset VAT paid and received.
1020. Minority VAT system in the farm
Codes as defined for the main VAT system.
There is only one group of information (VA) VAT system in the farm. There are three columns: (C) code of the VAT system, (NI) balance non-investments transactions and (I) balance investment transactions.
For the normal VAT system only its indication is entered. If the holding is subject to the partial offsetting system of VAT then also the VAT balance non-investments transactions and VAT balance investment transactions have to be provided.

Farm inputs (costs in cash and in kind, and quantities of selected inputs) relate to the “consumption” of productive resources (including farm use of own produced inputs) corresponding to the output of the farm during the accounting year or to the “consumption” of those resources during the accounting year. When certain use relates partly to private use and partly to farm use (e.g. electricity, water, heating fuels and engine fuels, etc.) only the latter part should be included in the farm return. The proportion of the use of private cars corresponding to their use for farm purposes should also be included.
In calculating costs relating to the output of the accounting year the purchases and farm use during the year should be adjusted for valuation changes (including changes in cultivations). For each item the total of costs paid for and the value of the farm use should be recorded separately.
Where the costs indicated are for the total “consumption” of inputs during the accounting year but do not correspond to production during that year, changes in stocks of inputs (including costs accruing to growing crops) should be indicated under an appropriate code of circulating capital.
When the holding’s production resources (paid or unpaid labour, machinery or equipment) are used to increase fixed assets (construction or major repairs of machinery, construction, major repairs or even demolition of buildings, planting or felling of fruit trees), the corresponding costs — or an estimate thereof — are not to be included in the working costs of the holding. In any case, labour costs and hours worked to produce fixed assets are to be excluded from both costs and data on labour. In exceptional cases, if certain costs (other than labour costs) used to produce fixed assets cannot be calculated separately (e.g. use of the holding’s tractor) and if these expenses are then included under costs, an estimate of all these costs used to produce fixed assets is to be entered in Table I “Crops” with the category of crop code 90900 (“Other”).
The costs relating to “consumption” of capital assets are represented by depreciation, hence expenditure on acquisition of capital assets should not be treated as a farm cost. For instructions on depreciation see in Table D “Assets”.
Expenditure on cost items compensated during the accounting year or later (e.g. repairs to a tractor as a result of an accident covered by an insurance policy or by a third party liability) should not be entered as farm costs, and the corresponding receipts should not be included in the farm’s accounts.
Receipts from resale of purchased supplies are to be deducted from corresponding inputs.
Grants and subsidies related to costs are not deducted from the corresponding cost items but are entered under appropriate codes 4100 to 4900 in table M “Subsidies” (see instructions regarding those codes). Investment grants and subsidies are shown in table D “Assets”.
Costs also include any expenditure on purchases relating to each cost item.
Inputs are classified as follows:
1010. Wages and social security costs for paid labour
This item includes the following:

1020. Contract work and machinery hire
This item includes the following:
— |
total expenditure in respect of work on the farm carried out by agricultural contractors. This generally includes the cost of the use of equipment (including fuel) and the work. In case the cost of the materials employed other than fuel (i.e. crop protection products, fertilisers and seeds) is also included in the contract, the cost of these materials should be excluded. This amount (if necessary by estimation) should be entered under the corresponding cost item (e.g. pesticides to be recorded under code 3040 “Crop protection products”), |
— |
cost of hiring machines operated by the farm’s labour. The fuel costs related to the use of the rented machinery, should be recorded under code 1040 “Motor fuels and lubricants”, |

This item includes purchases of minor equipment, the cost of saddlery and horse shoeing, the purchase of tyres, forcing frames, protective clothing for unsanitary work, detergents for the cleaning of equipment in general, and the proportion of the cost of private cars corresponding to their use for farm purposes (see also code 1050). Detergents used for cleaning livestock equipment (e.g. milking machines) are entered under code 2090 “Other specific livestock costs”.
Major repairs which increase the value of equipment, compared with its value before repairs, are not included under this code (see also instructions on depreciation in Table D “Assets”).
1040. Motor fuels and lubricants
This item also includes the proportion of fuel and lubricant costs for private cars corresponding to their use for farm purposes (see also code 1050).
Where the products are employed both as motor fuels and as heating fuels, the total sum is divided into two codes:
1040. |
“Motor fuels and lubricants”. |
5030. |
“Heating fuels”. |
1050. Car expenses
Where the farm proportion of expenditure on private cars is calculated arbitrarily (e.g. a fixed amount per km), these costs are indicated under this code.
Feedstuffs
Used feedstuffs are divided into those purchased and those produced on the farm.
The purchased feedstuffs include mineral licks, milk products (bought or returned to the farm) and products for the preservation and storage of feedstuffs, as well as the expenditure on agistment, on the use of common pasture and grazing land not included in the UAA and on renting forage land not included in the UAA. Purchased litter and straw are also included with purchased feedstuffs.
Feedstuffs purchased for grazing stock are subdivided into concentrated feedstuffs and coarse fodder (including agistments and expenditure on the use of common pastures, grazing land and forage land not included in the UAA, and purchased litter and straw).
The code 2010 “Purchased concentrated feedstuffs for grazing stock (equines, ruminants)” includes in particular oilcakes, compound feeds, cereals, dried grass, dried sugar beet pulp, fish meal, milk and dairy products, minerals and products for the preservation and storage of such feedstuffs.
Expenditure on work carried out by agricultural contractors for the production of coarse fodder, e.g. silage, is entered under code 1020 “Contract work and machinery hire”.
Feedstuffs produced and used on the farm include saleable farm products used as feedstuffs (including milk and milk products but excluding milk suckled by calves, which is not taken into account). Litter and straw produced on the holding are only included if they are a saleable product in the region and year in question.

GROUPS OF INFORMATION IN TABLE I
Table I has seven rows containing the following groups of information: area (A), opening valuation (OV), closing valuation (CV), production (PR), sales (SA), farm household consumption and benefits in kind (FC) and farm use (FU).
Table I has six columns where for each crop, namely: the total area (TA), the area which is irrigated (IR), the area which is used for energy crops (EN), the area which is used for the production of GMO crops (GM), the quantity of production and sales (Q) and the value (V) are to be recorded. In the following it is described for each group of information which columns have to be completed:
I.A Area
For the group of information area (A), the total area (TA), the area which is irrigated (IR), the area which is used for energy crops (EN) and the area which is used for the production of GMO crops (GM) are to be recorded. In each case the area is to be given in ares (100 ares = 1 hectare), except in the case of land used for mushroom growing which is given in square metres.
I.OV Opening valuation
For the group of information opening valuation (OV), the value (V) of products in stock (storage) at the beginning of the accounting year is to be recorded. The products should be valued at farm-gate prices on the day of valuation.
I.CV Closing valuation
For the group of information closing valuation (CV), the value (V) of products in stock (storage) at the end of the accounting year is to be recorded. The products should be valued at farm-gate prices on the day of valuation.
I.PR Production
For the group of information production (PR) the quantities of crops produced (Q) during the accounting year (excluding any losses in the field and at the farm) are to be recorded. These quantities are indicated for the principal products of the holding (except by-products).
These quantities should be indicated in quintals (100 kg) with the exemption of wine and wine-related products, which are expressed in hectolitres. When, because of the conditions of sale, actual production in quintals cannot be determined (see sales of standing crops and crops under contract), missing data code 2 should be entered for the crops under contract and code 3 in the other cases.
I.SA Total sales
For the group of information total sales (SA) the quantity of sales (Q) and the value of sales (V) of products in stock at the start of the accounting year or harvested during the year are to be recorded. When marketing costs, if any, are known, they are not deducted from the sales total, but should be recorded in table H “Inputs”.
I.FC Farm household consumption and benefits in kind
For the group of information farm household consumption and benefits in kind (FC) the value (V) of the products consumed by the holder’s household and/or used for payments in kind for goods and services (including remuneration in kind) are to be recorded. The products in question are valued at farm-gate prices.
I.FU Farm use
For the group of information farm use (FU) the farm-gate value (V) of the holding’s products in stock (storage) at the beginning of the accounting year and/or produced during the year, used as inputs on the holding during the year are to be recorded. This includes:
— |
animal feed: the farm-gate value of the holding’s saleable products (products which are currently marketable) used during the year as animal feed. The holding’s straw used on the farm (as fodder and bedding) is valued only when it is a saleable product in the region and for the year under consideration. The products concerned are valued at the “farm-gate” selling price, |
— |
seeds: the farm-gate value of saleable farm products used as seed for crops during the year, |
— |
other farm use (including products from the holding used for the preparation of meals for holidaymakers). |

The definition of “Other Gainful Activities” (OGA) is the same as established in point VI of Annex II to Commission Regulation (EC) No 1200/2009 (11) and in the Community typology for agricultural holdings (Article 4 of and Annex III to Regulation (EC) No 1242/2008). This definition follows, except in exceptional cases, the Statistical Classification of Economic Activities in the European Community (NACE rev.2) and the Manual of Economic Accounts for Agriculture and Forestry EAA/EAF 97 rev.1.1.
OGA directly related to the holding refer to the non-agricultural activities having an economic impact on the holding and which are using the agricultural resources (means of production or products) of the holding.
Gainful activities in this context mean active work; pure financial investments are therefore excluded. Renting out the land or other farm’s agricultural resources for diverse activities without being further involved in these activities is not considered as an OGA but as part of the agricultural activity of the holding.
All processing of farm products are considered as OGA unless the processing is regarded as a part of agricultural activity. Wine processing and olive oil production are therefore excluded unless the bought-in proportion of wine or olive oil is significant.
All processing of a primary agricultural product to a processed secondary product on the holding, regardless of whether the raw material is produced on the holding or bought from outside are considered as OGA. This includes processing meat, making cheese, etc.
Categories of other gainful activities directly related to the farm
The following categories of OGA should be distinguished:
261. |
Processing of cow’s milk |
||||||
262. |

||||||
1020. |
Forestry and wood processing. It covers the sales of felled and standing timber, of forestry products other than timber (cork, pine resin, etc.) and of processed wood during the accounting year. |
||||||
2010. |
Contract work for others. Hiring out of equipment of the holding without farm labour force or using only farm labour force in contract work are not considered as OGA but as part of the agricultural activity. |
||||||
2020. |
Tourism, accommodation, catering and other leisure activities. They include rent from tourism (camping sites, cottages, riding facilities, hunting, fishing, etc.). |
||||||
2030. |
Production of renewable energy. It covers the production of renewable energy for the market including biogas, biofuels or electricity, by wind turbines, other equipment or from agricultural raw materials. It excludes, as considered being part of the agricultural activity of the holding:

As a general rule, grants and subsidies registered in Table M correspond to the current accounting year regardless of when the payment is received (accounting year is equal to claim year). Rural development payments other than LFA payments constitute an exception to this general rule as registered amounts should refer to payments actually received during the accounting year (accounting year is equal to payment year).
Grants and subsidies are defined by type of subsidy, financing and basic unit. For each entry, Table M gives the number of basic units (N) and the amount received (V). There might be several records per category of subsidy as the basic units and/or financing origins might differ.’
