    Hypothetical stuff here!

    Does anyone here share machinery?

    How does it work and how is it put against tax?

    Lets say for example:

    My brother and I have decided to buy a round baler to use on both of our farms. The model that we have in mind costs €20,000. Its going to cost €10,000 each.

    Would it be normal that both of us would go to the dealer with a cheque each for €10,000 and that the dealer would issue us with 2 separate receipts for tax purposes?

    "In a less complete partnership, a machinery partnership could be formed where all (or some) machinery would be owned and operated on a partnership basis on the partner's farms."

    I know don't know anything about it but, I'd be inclined to keep it as simple as possible. More like what you were saying.

    ya id say both of you getting receipts would be fine. makes sense for you to have your own anyway when you have the rest of the gear

    It was just an example. My brother isn't a farmer and we're not buying a baler ;)

    I just want to know what the tax & receipt implications would be if i were to make such a purchase in this way!

    Reilig,

    From my standing, a simple partnership is the best way. i would say most bailers for €20k will be financed so the bank etc would have 2 leases incease one lease is performing and the other isnt.

    A simple P & L and also you need to submit partnership tax return but its a simple process.
