FACTS

A sheep restrainer is a metal yoke roughly in the shape of a 'W' designed to restrain a sheep during handling. The middle part of the yoke fits over the head of the sheep and the front hoofs are then placed in the yoke so that they are level with the head. A thong is then passed under the head and secured and the sheep is effectively restrained.

RULING

2. Sheep restrainers qualify for conditional exemption from sales tax under sub-item 13(1) in the First Schedule to the Sales Tax (Exemptions and Classifications) Act when sold for use in the agricultural industry.
