The guidance in this chapter includes not only information on
the acceptable valuation bases but also some descriptive paragraphs
to give a feel for the important factors in a stock valuation.
Stock valuation can never be absolutely precise, with a number of
practical considerations affecting the accuracy of the estimate.
SSAP9 provides the starting point for stock valuation for tax
purposes, but you should note that it does not prohibit methods
such as last in first out (LIFO) for costing stock. LIFO is
not an allowable method for valuing stock for tax
purposes.
There is extensive guidance on valuing farm stock in IR help
sheet 232 - formerly BEN19.
There is more detailed guidance on motor dealers stock at
