One whole family of valuation services are those related to tax reporting. The Internal Revenue Service requires many aspects of one’s financial picture to be fully and accurately reported to them. The only way to do this in many cases is with specialized valuations.

Both corporate and personal taxes can involve situations which are highly complex and require precise knowledge of financial reporting. If done incorrectly, this of course, has expensive ramifications. Additionally, correct tax planning takes these same elements into account so that actions can be taken to put oneself in the best possible tax situation.

Corporate Tax-Related Valuation Services

Corporations are in the business of producing products and making a profit. They aren’t in the business of financial reporting. However, everything a corporation does has immediate tax ramifications. Because they can be costly these must be taken into account in any major company transaction or planning.

Gift & Estate Tax Valuation Services

When stock, property or other assets are being transferred, as in gifts or inheritances, each of these has a value. This value has to be reported accurately to the IRS and can have large ramifications on estate or gift taxes.

It is vital to have a realistic, true picture of the value of assets transferred. This is done through specialized valuations for tax purposes. At BVC our mission is to provide our clients with a clear-eyed analysis of the information so that, armed with the facts, they are able to make the best decisions about their financial future.
