Accelerate Livestock Special Alert 2022
Inland Revenue have recently announced this year’s livestock Herd Scheme Values and we think this is a great opportunity to update you on the latest movements. The Herd Scheme Values are the National Average Market Values as determined by a process involving a review of the livestock market as at 30 April:
Consider your livestock election choices carefully. Even though changes were made to the Herd scheme in recent years, there is still flexibility around how to value increases in numbers – if you increase your numbers during the year, you can choose an alternative valuation option to value that increase. Whether you take that option or elect to value the increase using herd values will depend on several factors, such as:
- where we are in the cycle of livestock values (e.g. at the bottom, or at the top)
- if the increase is a permanent or a temporary one
- your longer-term intentions
As the decision is clearly one that should be made on a case-by-case basis, we will discuss your valuation options when we review your 2022 Financial Statements and Taxation Returns with you.
In the meantime, if you would like more detailed information about the Herd and NSC Livestock Valuation methods or about the values themselves, please contact us.
