BIM51615 - Builders, property dealers & developers: Valuation: Contentious appeal

Before making arrangements for a contentious appeal hearing on a trading income valuation point a report, accompanied by the file, should be made to CT&VAT (Technical).

The report should set out

• the amount of tax at stake as a result of the disputed valuation, and
• confirm that the principle of using open market value has been accepted by the taxpayer and that it is only the amount of the valuation which is in dispute.
