Frequently asked questions
Agritourism serving meals to guests: ATECO code 56.11.91 or the standard restaurant code?
Usually 56.11.91 when catering arises as an ancillary activity connected to your own farm. A restaurant without that agricultural base uses 56.11.11 instead. The connection to crop growing and livestock farming is what matters.
Agritourism with rooms and a kitchen — does 56.11.91 also cover accommodation?
No — 56.11.91 covers only the connected catering activity. Accommodation with overnight stays at an agritourism falls under 55.20.51. They are two distinct ancillary activities that must be declared separately.
I serve meals at a fishing business, not an agricultural one — does 56.11.91 still apply?
No — if the base activity is fishery, the connected catering goes under 56.11.92. Code 56.11.91 applies only to catering linked to crop growing and the rearing of land animals.
