Why You Should Attend

Recent scrutiny on the part of the Tax Court in reviewing discounts for lack of marketability and control has placed renewed emphasis on the accuracy and defensibility of these adjustments to limited partnership interest appraisals. In addition to objecting to how discounts are substantiated the Court has expressed dissatisfaction how empirical data is used to derive these discounts and the subjectivity in which those discounts were determined.

In "Using Empirical Data to Value Family Limited Partnerships," part 3 of BVR's Online Symposium on Estate & Gift Tax, expert Bruce Johnson explains the best practices by which to select and apply empirical data to FLP valuations. Given recent decisions from the courts and other reviewers Johnson's presentation is not to be missed.

BVR's Guide to Business Valuation Issues in Estate and Gift Tax

While estate and gift tax issues is still one of the top revenue producers for business appraisers, this area of the valuation industry continues to face new challenges.

Issues such as tax-effecting S-Corporations, non-signing tax preparer penalties, and legal challenges from the IRS continue to complicate the estate and gift arena. It is crucial for appraisers practicing in this area to stay current with the legal arguments, regulations and technical theory that apply to estate and gift issues relating to the business valuation profession.
