Hunter in the district of Stade demands tax exemption for hunting dogs!

Stade, Deutschland - The hunters in the district of Stade raise an alarming call for help! They demand the abolition of dog tax for their valuable hunting dogs! In a courageous initiative, you have already submitted applications from the cities and municipalities to finally be freed from the financial burdens. A spokeswoman for the hunters make it clear: the costs for the purchase, training and exams of the dogs quickly add up to several thousand euros. At a time when volunteer work is increasingly recognized, the hunters demand recognition!

Although the tax rates for hunting dogs in Stade and Buxtehude have already been halved, there are no uniform regulatory approach in other parts of the Stade district. The gap remains large here, because the dog tax varies from 50 to 90 euros per year. The hunters have clear ideas: uniform rules and a complete abolition of the tax are required to facilitate support for their voluntary work. Finally, the hunters are inevitably moving into game accidents without receiving a payment - another reason to take their concerns seriously!

The way to tax exemption

The city of Stade has promised to check the applications of the hunters and exchange ideas with the other municipalities. But be careful: The hunters do not have a legal claim to tax exemption, as a judgment of the Higher Administrative Court of Lüneburg made clear from last year. The outcome of these efforts is eagerly awaited - can the hunters be able to eliminate the financial burden and thus set the course for more smooth hunting?
