Terry Dockley,
VAT Director at James & Cowper outlines some of the VAT implications of moving
into equestrian activities.
VAT - Livery Yards:
HM Customs & Excise -
Notice 701/15
Animals and animal food
10. Livery and other care packages
10.1 Keep of animals
The
supply of the keep of animals is generally standard-rated, but see paragraph
10.3. Even if you supply animal feed as
part of the service of care, the full consideration for your service is
standard-rated. The feed element cannot be treated as a separate zero-rated
supply.
10.2 Stabling
If
you allow an owner exclusive use of stabling (that is you allocate all
or an identifiable part of the stabling for the sole use of his animals) this
is either an exempt supply of a right over land or standard-rated if you
exercise the `option to tax' - see
Notice 742 Land and property.
You
may zero-rate separate supplies of feed (either as general feed or in the form
of grazing rights) only when no element of care is supplied.
10.3 Livery services
These
are services provided for horses in a stable that go beyond the right to
occupy the stable.
They
may include:
-
feeding or turning the
animal out to graze;
-
mucking out, spreading
straw or other bedding;
-
worming and clipping;
-
grooming and plaiting;
or
-
taking on any
responsibility for the welfare of the animal, including arranging for
veterinary treatment,
but
not clearly identifiable separate supplies such as veterinary services.
You
must standard-rate the supply of livery services, including any food provided,
unless the stabling is an exempt right over land - see paragraph
10.2 - which you have not opted
to tax.
If
the supply of stabling is a right over land and you have not opted to
tax it, the whole livery package is exempt.
