Urban & Rural Valuations provide essential services for determining the market value of real estate assets required for various tax-related matters. Many tax laws mandate obtaining a market value assessment to ensure compliance with tax regulations. Common instances where a valuation for tax purposes is necessary include:

• Individuals: Valuations for transfers of real estate or shares between related parties, such as family members, to ensure accurate reporting and compliance.
• Small Businesses: Assessing asset transfers to related parties or for capital gains tax considerations, helping small businesses manage tax liabilities effectively.
• Self-Managed Superannuation Funds: Valuations for reporting purposes, ensuring that property assets within superannuation funds are accurately valued for financial statements and compliance.
• Businesses: Assessing properties during consolidation events, such as mergers or acquisitions, to determine the correct tax implications.

Our valuations are conducted based on the principle of ‘highest and best use,’ ensuring that the assessed value reflects the property’s optimal use. While the acceptability of a valuation for tax purposes typically hinges on the valuation process rather than the individual conducting it, certain exceptions require the involvement of a professional valuer. For specific guidance on whether a professional valuer is needed, please consult your accountant.
