COMPANY - THE DETAILS


​A company can register as an owner subject to approval by Horse Racing Ireland. Some owners decide to race under their company name for tax and promotional reasons. 

​The company name will appear as the owner on the race-card and have a Horse Racing Owner Account opened under the company name. A registered agent, usually a company director or secretary, must be appointed to carry out administrative duties with Horse Racing Ireland, on behalf of the company. The nominated agent must become a registered owner.
The company registration fee of €550 is additional to the minimum opening balance of €1,000 and a company may take up to 4 weeks to register. The company must be registered with the Companies Registrar Office
