An independent share valuation is often a key step in the implementation of an employee share schemes for an unquoted company. Tax and other fiscal valuations in the UK are subject to special rules which have evolved out of a combination of case law and legislation.
There is a specialist department within HMRC that reviews and agrees share valuations. As the HMRC's resources are limited they are understandably reluctant to undertake valuations before an award is made (i.e. pre grant valuations), valuations provided by the company or its accountants are usually dismissed or challenged and therefore an independent valuation is typically required.
R A Valuation Services Limited specialises in providing goodwill valuations for a number of purposes, including Enterprise Management Incentive (EMI) schemes, for businesses in the UK. EMIs are tax advantaged share options designed to help businesses recruit and retain employees who have the skills to help them to grow and succeed.
Other reasons for a goodwill business valuation include business sale and purchase, partnership or shareholder change, litigation, matrimonial and legal separation, incorporation, tax settlements, borrowings and business development for businesses in the UK and internationally.
