EC 47B: Removal of high-priced bloodstock from New Zealand after earlier deductions

You could also call this:

“Tax consequences for exporting expensive racehorses before use in New Zealand”

This section of the law talks about what happens when you take a very expensive horse (called high-priced bloodstock) out of New Zealand before it has been used for racing or breeding in the country. It applies to you if you’re someone who plans to breed horses and you’ve already claimed some money back on your taxes for this expensive horse.

If you do take the horse out of New Zealand before it has raced or been used for breeding there, the law says it’s like you’ve sold the horse. This means you might have to pay back some of the money you claimed on your taxes.

Remember, this only applies to very expensive horses that are meant for racing or breeding, and only if you’ve already gotten some tax benefits for having the horse. It’s the government’s way of making sure people don’t just buy expensive horses, claim tax benefits, and then take the horses away without using them in New Zealand as intended.
