Determining Fair Market Value Part I.
Determining fair market worth (FMV) can be an intricate process, as it is highly based on the specific facts and circumstances surrounding each appraisal task. Appraisers must exercise professional judgment, supported by credible information and sound methodology, to identify FMV. This frequently requires mindful analysis of market trends, the availability and reliability of comparable sales, and an understanding of how the residential or commercial property would perform under normal market conditions including a willing purchaser and a ready seller.
This short article will address determining FMV for the intended use of taking an earnings tax reduction for a non-cash charitable contribution in the United States. With that being stated, this method is applicable to other designated uses. While Canada's meaning of FMV differs from that in the US, there are numerous resemblances that enable this basic approach to be applied to Canadian functions. Part II in this blogpost series will address Canadian language particularly.
Fair market price is defined in 26 CFR § 1.170A-1( c)( 2) as "the price at which residential or commercial property would alter hands in between a ready buyer and a prepared seller, neither being under any obsession to purchase or to offer and both having sensible knowledge of appropriate realities." 26 CFR § 20.2031-1( b) broadens upon this definition with "the fair market worth of a particular item of residential or commercial property ... is not to be identified by a forced sale. Nor is the reasonable market worth of an item to be figured out by the price of the product in a market aside from that in which such product is most frequently offered to the general public, considering the location of the item wherever appropriate."
