Description
Seven years in the making, Taxes and Value: The Ongoing Research and Analysis Relating to the S Corporation Valuation Puzzle guide provides a substantive contribution to the controversial issue of how to value pass-through entities. Authors Nancy Fannon and Keith Sellers present the findings of decades of academic research on the impact of taxes on firm value and demonstrate that historical market returns impound the effects of shareholder taxes. This research is used to demonstrate how these returns can be adjusted to estimate a cost of capital appropriate for the valuation of a pass-through entity.There are no easy answers to valuing pass-through entities and the research is both dense and ongoing. However, the breadth and depth of information presented in this guide is deep and provides appraisers the ability to make informed inferences to arrive at reasonable valuation conclusions. This guide brings the academic research together in one place and assists the profession in moving forward on its long-struggling quest to solve the pass-through entity valuation puzzle. Here is what the technical review panel has to say about this highly-anticipated guide:"Great job marshalling the arguments and presenting them in a logical way." (Aswath Damodaran, Professor of Finance, Stern School of Business, New York University)"I am impressed at the research (...the authors) put into this document." (Michael Gregory, Consultant, Michael Gregory Consulting)"This book has a nice flow with logical conclusions and very practical suggestions and reasonable alternatives which BV practitioners can relate to and judges can follow." (Ken Pi, Partner in Charge of Business Valuations, Meyers, Harrison & Pia, LLC)"Bravo! I believe this will be the seminal work on the subject and serve to change a lot of minds."
