Farm dogs and tax relief

[jon9000]

Just wondering when is a dog allowed to be classed as a farm dog for tax relief purposes. Do you have to have livestock?

Can he drive a loader, tractor or any other farm machinery?

Don’t forget works the other way if a bitch with several pups at prices they’ve been
How many paying tax ??

Dog could just about manage his own Tax return if asked. Big paws, though. Might find the digital pawprint awkward.

What annoys is that he isn't on the farm animals account at the Vet's. No discount for working dogs for paying on the nail.

Nah, all farms are entitled to a dog. So are butchers.

Yorkshiremen are entitled to a dog-as long as it's a whippet (also get tax relief on clogs)

If you are shepherd in Bavaria, owning a certain breed of dog is mandatory.

Unfortunately you have to have a spare bedroom if you want a collie, because it's a boarder.

Guard dogs qualify, especially if they bit P***ys

Working dog food is vat free too.

But the value or cost of a working dog seems to be going up each year. So if I was a tax inspector, I would charge owners tax on a notional £200/year increase in valuation/dog.

But every year the dog gets a year older so will be worth £200 less.

But if its a bitch, it will have Labrador cross pups, which will be worth a fortune.

Simple answer is, does the dog satisfy the test of being wholly and exclusively for the purpose of the trade. A ratter could satisfy that test as could a sheep dog or guard dog. However if someone were to tell me they had Pomeranian as a guard dog I might be a little unconvinced. The other issue as highlighted above, if a bitch has puppies and all her costs have been claimed 100% business then 100% of her outputs, puppies, must be brought in as income.
