Egluntyne Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 Fear not! I think we might just be okay According to Farmers Weekly the levy per chicken is 4p. On Defra's consultation paper (Annex 9 Thresholds for payment of registration fee) the table shows that they would not collect from any premise with less than 397 chickens as the cost of invoicing would be greater than the revenue collected. This means that we can all have 396 chickens and not have to pay the tax - I best go and buy some more then That's a load off my mind! I was dreading having to find that £1.28. Phew.
