1. Valuation of Land & Buildings
2. Valuer-General’s Valuations Valuations carried out on a seven year cycle
Three Values:
Land Value
Capital Value
Assessed Annual Value
3. Defintions Land Value
The capital value of land assuming that no improvements have been made.
Capital Value
The capital sum realisable from sale of land including all improvements
Assessed Annual Value
Gross annual income from rental after allowing for GST, rates and land tax.
4. Land Tax Adjustment Factors Land indexed annually for Land Tax purposes only.
Indices are municipal averages
Separate indices for commercial, industrial, residential and rural land
Factors are not applicable for improvements
5. Adjustment Factors for 2004-05 Residential – range 1.00 to 2.00
Commercial – range 0.85 to 1.50
Industrial – range 0.85 to 1.50
Rural – range 1.00 to 1.50
Acceptable to TAO for land values only
6. CPI index movements In the last four years
CPI has moved 11.8%
Construction industry 15.4%
7. Buildings V-G valuation will not represent fair value after three or four years
Other options
Independent valuation between V-G’s valuation
Apply a suitable index to current replacement cost and restate depreciation
Consider materiality?
8. Materiality issues Given the scale of infrastructure assets, roads, bridges, sewer and water assets, building values are unlikely to be material in the statement of financial position
Likewise resultant depreciation of buildings is unlikely to be material in the statement of financial performance
9. What of the Future? V-G to move to a six year cycle with updates every two years
Will apply to all three valuations that are carried out
Expected to start in about two years time
Does not solve today’s problems
10. Audit Implications While uncorrected “errors” from a failure to update valuations may not be material in the financial statements, they will reduce the level of tolerance for any other uncorrected errors.
You may be called upon to establish that there is no material mis-statement
