When I lived in Vermont, there was a lot of discussion on what was taxeable and what wasn't. I finally had enough of all the second hand answers whether it came from an accountant or another farrier so I wrote to the state tax department and got a letter back from the top tax person in Vermont and it stated that any thing used on a horse in the form of shoeing wasn't taxable. I then gave it to my accountant and I got a rebate for the past 3 years from the state of Vermont. Have any of you bothered to verify the tax law in your state . ? It could mean a refund and money left in your pocket. my 2 cents worth
The sad part is you ,as the tax payer, can only file amended returns for the previous 3 yrs; the tax people can come back on us, a minimum 7 yrs unless they can prove fraud then there is no statute of limitations...
