Some owners decide to race under their company name for tax and promotional reasons. Horse Racing Ireland strongly advises those considering this ownership format to speak to their accountant or tax advisor prior to this decision.
The company name will appear as the owner on the race-card and have a Horse Racing Owner Account opened under the company name. A registered agent, either a company director or secretary, must be appointed to carry out administrative duties with Horse Racing Ireland, on behalf of the company.
