Maybe this should be in the Budget 2009 section, but it really annoys me that this has gone on so long....TAX THE HORSES!!!
How would you mount the tax disc ?
Seriously though, when I saw the millions that went on that place in Leopardstown or wherever a couple of years ago, I knew we were doomed. No money for autism teachers, HSE in a shambles, cancer wards closed and 'amalgamated', and all the while builders and the horsey-set looked after.
We definitely got the govt of the century !
A large proportion of the countries sports budget going to subsidise rich people and gamblers while local sports clubs have poor facilities - scandalous.
or maybe firefly is talking about the stud fees exemption? that was changed last year and from july 31 2008, stallion owners have had to pay tax on the stud fees.
