Practical Share Valuation provides a reference point for practitioners, who may need to prepare or review a valuation of shares or intangible assets, and acts as a practical guide to the more straightforward valuations which are required for tax purposes. In many circumstances - including divorce, dispute or leaving a company - there is only one opportunity to present a valuation for agreement and the ultimate cost of an ill-prepared or inexpert valuation can be significant. While there is no substitute for an expert valuer, Practical Share Valuation combines decades of the authors' practical experience in order to provide a reference guide to the valuation of unquoted shares and intangible assets as well as a practical handbook for practitioners preparing more routine valuations for tax purposes. The book highlights the relevant case law relating to valuations and also provides a handy list of additional data sources to aid the valuer in gaining access to the comparator data and latest valuation standards available. Whether you need to prepare a valuation or review work prepared by another practitioner, Practical Share Valuation provides a wealth of easily accessible information, hints and tips to help you navigate through the potential minefield of share valuations.
