RETHINK THE HORSE TAX
Rethink the Horse Tax is the campaign for a fair approach to improving horse health and welfare in the UK.
 The Government has unveiled plans to place a new tax on all horse owners, as part of proposals that would create a new layer of Government bureaucracy to deal with managing and preventing animal diseases.
There is a growing consensus that these plans would have a negative impact on the horse community in the UK, and will place an unfair burden on both the equine sector and taxpayers generally, with very little offered in return.
You can take action by visiting the new Rethink the Horse Tax campaign website (www.rethinkthehorsetax.org) and taking the following steps:
- Step 1: Write to Your MP - Call on your elected representative to put pressure on Ministers to change this policy! The site has a template letter you may wish to use and you can find your MP's address.
- Step 2: Sign the 10 Downing Street Petition - This policy affects millions of horse riders, trainers, breeders, owners, competitors, and spectators, as well as thousands employed by the industry. If everyone signs the Rethink the Horse Tax petition politicians will have to take notice!
- Step 3: Join the campaign mailing list and receive regular news updates - It only takes a second, and they will keep you updated on future activities and the progress of these proposals!
