Support tax parity. Support jobs. Support greyhound racing.

The GBGB are sending a letter to the Prime Minster with the aim of safeguarding greyhound racing. The letter puts it into black and white the jobs that are provided by the industry, the money that is generated for the economy and in tax revenue plus the value that the sport brings to the working class communities that it inhabits.


A statement from the GBGB said: "Greyhound racing is a vital part of communities across Britain, supporting thousands of jobs and providing an affordable and enjoyable sporting experience for millions of people each year.


"However, the industry faces significant challenges, and we are calling on the Government to deliver fair tax treatment for greyhound racing.


"An open letter has been launched asking for support for tax parity and the protection of the jobs, businesses and communities that rely on our sport. We are aiming to show decision-makers just how many people value and depend on greyhound racing."
