Amharc ar fhreagraAs I stated in my reply to PQ 30710 of 15 June, Revenue uses a European standard classification system, known as ‘NACE’ to categorise the economic activities or sectors of taxpayers. In the NACE system, dog breeding or dog selling are not separately categorised. In addition, these types of operations are often part of wider economic activities undertaken by taxpayers and it is therefore not possible for Revenue to identify or report on the registrations specifically by dog breeding.
