(This text has been withheld because of exemptions in the Freedom of Information Act 2000), ask the taxpayer to confirm the basis of valuation and to advise whether a sale is intended. On receipt of this information, you can decide whether to adopt as the appropriate value either

  • the sale price;
  • any formal valuation; or
  • any reasoned estimate of value.

If (This text has been withheld because of exemptions in the Freedom of Information Act 2000)you have positive grounds to suspect an undervaluation, you must refer to Shares and Assets Valuation for advice.

The Risk, Research & Liaison Team (RRLT) have access to databases which could be of assistance in valuing these types of assets. Firstly, they can access the Shipping Registry, which holds details of owners of boats, the respective shares of owners and any mortgages charged against these vessels. (This text has been withheld because of exemptions in the Freedom of Information Act 2000).

Secondly, RRLT can access the Civil Aviation Authority database, which contains information about the ownership of light aircraft, helicopters, microlights and hot air balloons.
