Duty is payable monthly on the sale of cattle (including bulls, cows, oxen, steer, heifers, bison and buffalo), sheep, goats or pigs (or their carcasses), and is charged on a per-head or carcass basis.
If you are selling livestock (or their carcasses) on your own behalf, you must pay duty via a statement directly to us. If you sell through an approved agent, they pay the duty to us and usually pass the cost on to you.
Approved agents must lodge and pay duty via a monthly return.
