ESTATE, GIFT, & INCOME TAX PLANNING & COMPLIANCE.

Ownership control can often be a very important issue in valuation. The owner of a controlling interest enjoys some valuation rights that the owner of a non-controlling interest might not possess. Alternatively, a non-controlling interest holder in some entities might have some elements of control e.g. swing vote potential or veto power. Such issues need to be carefully reviewed, and PVI has years of experience analyzing such situations

Entity structure and type can often be a very important issue in valuation. The structure of an entity can impact after-tax economic benefits e.g. “pass through” entities like partnerships, LLCs, and S Corporations do not pay income tax at the entity level and “pass through” their earnings and losses to their owners. Such issues need to be carefully reviewed and PVI has years of experience analyzing such situations

We have experience valuing interests holding a variety of different real property. Hotels, motels, retail, office, industrial, multi-family, special purpose & raw land…we’ve got it all covered!
We also value direct partial interests in real property, often called fractional interests

A careful examination of legal documents, research and data and applicable case law as well as a host of other factors is needed to arrive at a defendable and appropriate discount for lack of control or marketability. We make it our priority to stay up-to-date on the latest research, data, and case law to ensure accurate analysis for each project. Our internal controls ensure that our reports are fundamentally sound and fastidiously documented and supported

Charitable donations of closely-held business interests are governed by a gift agreement between the donor and the donee that outlines the interest being gifted, the rights of the interest, and the restrictions placed on the interest. PVI can provide recommendations regarding the rights and restrictions for the interest, and can also assess their impact on minority discounts

IRC section 409(A) regulates the taxation of stock options. Under 409(A), if a company issues stock options to employees at a strike price below fair market value, both the company and the employees can face severe penalties from the IRS. Our 409(A) valuations help start-ups and other companies set an appropriate strike price for their stock options.
