IHTM23145 | What to do on receipt of the VOA's final report: report endorsed ‘no question need be raised on this valuation’

From HM Revenue & Customs · Inheritance Tax Manual

What it means

This endorsement is made when the VOA () is satisfied from information in his possession that

  • the value returned is reasonably correct; and

  • any likely increase does not justify the expense of inspection () and subsequent dialogue with the parties.

Action

You should

  • act upon it as if it were an `agreed’ () valuation; and

  • tell the parties that the VOA has ‘no question’ (IHTM23074) to raise on the value offered.

Should the property be sold at a higher figure, we may ask the VOA to reconsider () his opinion of value.
