Thousands of small farmers Zealanders sigh of relief today after the Government announced that it dropped the idea of a tax on the flatulence of the animals. "Instead of crushing the producers with tax will encourage research and development aid, within the general rules that will be announced on Thursday, " said Minister of Research, Science and Technology, Pete Hodgson.
Ranchers have previously said the government project would ruin the small sector owners. The measure proposed taxing studied and discarded them between $ 2 and $ 30 respectively, for each sheep (which are more than 43 million domestically) and cow (12 million).
The tax would be charged as a form of reparation by the methane expelled by animals or during the digestive process. The gas from the stool represents half of total methane gas that New Zealand issues, and that causes the greenhouse effect.
