ATO Standard Independent Business Valuations for the 2027 CGT Reforms
From 1 July 2027, the 50% CGT discount is being replaced with CPI cost-base indexation and a 30% minimum tax. Business owners with a future CGT event will need to establish an independent market value as at the transition date — and accountants and lawyers are expecting a surge in demand as that date approaches.
What’s included in every report:
The valuer’s identity, professional designations and independence declaration, stated clearly
A methodology matched to the business — discounted cash flow, capitalised earnings/EBITDA multiple, comparable transactions or net tangible asset value, or a combination
Assumptions, limiting conditions and supporting data disclosed in full
A report structured in line with ATO market valuation guidance, so it stands up to scrutiny from the ATO, accountants and other advisers
How an engagement runs:
Initial conversation — understand the business, the purpose of the valuation and the timeline
Document and data review — financials, forecasts, cap table and relevant agreements
Valuation and report preparation — methodology applied, findings triangulated, report drafted
Delivery and discussion — report delivered with a walkthrough of the conclusion and its basis
