Rebates for TAS sheep and goat farmers

Overview

The Support Scheme will assist owners of sheep and goats to transition from the current visual device and mob-based approach to individual electronic tagging of sheep and goats, by providing a rebate on purchased tags.

Available rebates:

• a $1 rebate per tag on retail price (GST exclusive) of eligible eID device ear tags
• a $4 rebate per tag on retail price (GST exclusive) of eligible eID device goat leg bands, where ear tags are not suitable for particular goat breeds.
