The Australian Stud Book was appointed the official Levy Collection Officer by the Australian Government and collects Statutory Levy contributions of $10 per mare return lodged by breeders and $10 per mare covered paid by the stallion owner. From 1 September 2017 to 30 June 2025, the Stud Book has collected $3,129,770 on behalf of breeders to be matched by the Federal Government on eligible Thoroughbred research.
