Evidence-led business valuations for WA businesses, built to hold up to RevenueWA as well as the ATO.
Specialist valuations for CGT events, restructures, related-party transfers and business asset sales across Western Australia. Like Queensland, WA still duties business asset transactions — including goodwill and intellectual property in most cases — so the evidence base has to satisfy RevenueWA's dutiable value expectations, not only ATO market valuation guidance.
Business valuation WA refers to an independent, evidence-led valuation of a Western Australian business, prepared for CGT events, restructures, related-party transfers or asset sales. Prismi provides this service to WA businesses, accountants and lawyers, applying ATO market valuation expectations and RevenueWA dutiable value evidence requirements, with reports from $1,495 + GST delivered remotely in 10–14 business days for the Essential tier.
State-specific considerations.
Does WA charge duty on the sale of a business? Western Australia is one of the states that still duties business asset transactions under the Duties Act 2008 (WA) — dutiable property in a business sale can include goodwill, business identity, licences and intellectual property, in addition to plant, equipment and stock, so the sale agreement's asset apportionment needs a defensible evidence base rather than a round-number allocation. RevenueWA's business assets guidance sets out what it expects to see supporting the dutiable value attributed to each class of asset, and where a valuation is used to apportion consideration, the methodology and comparable evidence need to be able to stand behind that figure if RevenueWA queries it (verify current fact sheet position and any concession thresholds before relying on them for a specific transaction). What valuation standard does a WA business valuation follow? Prismi's reports are prepared to the process-over-conclusion standard in APES 225 (Valuation Services), with market value assessed as at the reference date consistent with IVS 104 (Bases of Value), alongside ATO market valuation guidance for tax-purpose engagements and RevenueWA's dutiable value expectations where duty is in point — the same evidence-led methodology regardless of which of those audiences reads the report. Does landholder duty apply to a WA business sale? Separately, WA's landholder duty regime catches acquisitions of a significant interest in a landholder — broadly a company or unit trust holding WA land assets, which include mining tenements and derivative mining rights as well as land itself — so resource-sector and mining-services entities with tenement interests need this considered alongside the business asset valuation, particularly where a share or unit transfer is structured to avoid a direct asset transfer. How much does a business valuation cost in WA, and how long does it take? Prismi's fixed-fee tiers apply the same way in WA as elsewhere: Essential from $1,495 + GST (single methodology, 10–14 business days), Comprehensive from $3,995 + GST (dual methodology, 15–25 business days), Defensible Valuation File from $8,995 + GST (triple methodology, 25–35 business days), and Valuation Range & Scenario Review from $12,995 + GST (30–45 business days) — each fee fixed in writing at engagement, before any work begins.
