New Horse Tax could cost owners £100 per year

Opponents of a new 'horse tax' proposed by the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra) now fear the tax could cost horse owners an additional £100 per year.

The new tax has been propsed to help fund equine disease control and to improve health awareness and animal welfare.

The original plan expected the levy to be set around £10.50 per horse per annum but the added costs of setting up and running the scheme could push this charge to nearer £100.

There has been widespread opposition to the scheme from the British Equestrian Federation, British Equestrian Trade Association, The British Equine Veterinary Association, British Horse Society, British Horseracing Authority, Thoroughbred Breeders' Association, National Trainers Federation, World Horse Welfare, Welsh Pony and Cob Society and the Racehorse Owners Association.
