Alpaca Small Business
Tax Advantages |
 |
The alpaca is not treated any differently than any other livestock within the American Tax Code. Just like cattle, hogs and
sheep the alpaca creates an end product that is normally subject to taxation. Many agricultural and small businesses use
tax advantages to grow their business, sustain profit and provide jobs. The alpaca business is not treated any differently.
There are a number of good business reasons to consider adding alpaca to your current agri-business or to begin a business
with your own alpaca herd.
The alpaca is not a pet. It is a federally recognized livestock animal and is a growing part of the American Agricultural
landscape. The alpaca is shorn once a year to produce an exceptionally soft and highly valued fleece. The alpaca industry
in the United States, and world-wide continues to enjoy a steady and healthy growth. While tax advantages to ownership play
a role, alpaca ownership provides a unique family farm opportunity. Alpaca is a very eco-friendly livestock choice. To
learn more about the alpaca and the business of raising alpaca we invite you to find a breeder close to you and schedule a
visit.
The Alpaca Owners and Breeders Association remains committed to the growth of the alpaca industry and the care and husbandry of the North American Alpaca.
