New Carrazzo 'Sport of Kings' talk@riverside

Media Release - Wednesday May 23

We're proud to say that the special horse tax talks Carrazzo Consulting has conducted at major horse sales since 2003 have been a popular and welcome addition for serious horse investors and/or their advisors seeking valuable information on this topic.

New talk includes horse tax and key financial industry indicators

From the beginning, the format has focused solely on horse taxation and the current 'hot topics' in this area, but there is never a talk that can't be improved, so in June 2018 we're going to broaden the format of our regular Sydney tax talk to also include a discussion on the financial health of the industry.

When we say "financial health", we mean addressing issues that prospective and established industry players should know that will enhance their ability to make informed investment decisions – topics such as:

· domestic and overseas sales averages

· yearly foal crops

· mare and stallion fertility

· wagering trends

Advertisement

· prizemoney levels

· Government grants

· economic impact of racing events

· Etc..

In essence, these are the crucial KPI's for the breeding and racing industry. Couple the above with the hot topics in horse tax and you really have a talk with something for every industry investor.

Chartered Accountant Paul Carrazzo has used this format before when presenting the very successful "Sport Of Kings" seminar series for CPA Australia members, a talk that had the longest run ever for their member 'Food For Thought' lunches. He also spoke on a similar topic at the international CAPA Asian region Accountants conference in 2011.

More details on this talk will be provided to the industry in the coming weeks, refer www.horsetaxseminar.com.
