Thoroughred Tax Consulting

Background

There is little doubt that in the past decade Paul Carrazzo CPA has emerged as one of the most respected Thoroughbred Tax Consultants in Australasia.

His profile and industry respect is well deserved and easily explained if you consider his list of industry achievements and activities:

• feature tax writer for the "Australian Bloodhorse Review" since December 1993. His quarterly articles go under the title "The Tax File". See Paul's "Personality Profile" in the April 2003 issue at the Australian Bloodhorse Review website;
• recently featured on Sky Racing's "Bred To Win" program discussing GST impact on industry;
• feature tax writing for other industry publications, including "Silks" and "Breeders Forum";
• regularly featured in "The Australian Financial Review" articles re tax and the horse industry, the most recent being in January 2001 when he commented on the GST trap where unregistered breeders sell horses at auction for in excess of $50,000 (now $75,000);
• radio 2KY interview with Kerry Buckeridge on his "Around The Studs" segment re GST;
• guest presenter at TBV seminars on tax and horses; and
• a member of the ATO "National Horse Industry Partnership", especially set-up to assist the industry with the introduction of the GST.

The above activities, and his expanding industry client base, has ensured that Paul remains at the cutting edge of Thoroughbred Industry Tax issues. As any of his clients and industry associates will tell you, Paul has a great passion for the racing industry and is a pedigree fanatic. Importantly, he is distinguished from his competitors by his acute awareness of the thoroughbred market.
