Modernizing Canada’s tax rules to better reflect today’s agricultural and equine businesses has the potential to unlock investment, create jobs, and drive economic growth.
Reforming Section 31 of the Income Tax Act would be an important step forward for Canada’s horse racing and breeding industry, helping attract investment, strengthen rural economies, and improve our ability to compete with the U.S. Thoroughbred industry.
Thank you to CTV for shining a spotlight on this important issue: ctvnews.ca/business/article/…
Ontario Racing retweeted

A recent CTV News report highlights the growing impact of U.S. tax incentives on Canada’s horse racing industry, as breeders, owners and investment increasingly look south of the border.
These challenges affect more than racing . They impact our breeders, horsepeople, farms, businesses and the communities that depend on our industry.
Watch the full video below.
