Management of Fixed Assets is one of the most important activities for most companies. Kohli Appraisers starts every appraisal with an inventory of the fixed assets. The information collected is the basis for fixed asset management (FAS).

Tax / Donations

Fair Market Value appraisals are sometimes a requirement by the federal tax authorities (Revenue Canada and the IRS). An appraisal by an approved and credible firm is the basis of determining taxable value. One common use of appraisals for tax purposes is during the donation process. Revenue Canada states that any donation over $1000 (CDN) must have a fair market value appraisal by a credited appraiser. The IRS states that any gift over $5000 (US) must have a fair market value appraisal by professional appraiser.

Purpose

• Donation
• Tax Liability

Cross Border Transactions

When conducting cross border transactions, a Fair Market Value appraisal of the asset(s) is required by each jurisdiction involved in order to determine duties. Kohli Appraisers works with many exporters to conduct appraisals before the assets leaves the country. Sometimes, an appraisal of assets is also needed once the assets have arrived. These valuations can also become the basis for financing or leasing transactions.

• Export of Assets
