This workshop will examine the issues involved in valuing a privately-held family business:

  • Difficulties in establishing value of privately-held corporations
  • Controlling vs. minority interests
  • Challenges to taxpayers’ valuations by the CRA
  • Price-adjustment clauses
  • Valuations in estate freezing
