This paper outlines the key valuation concepts and issues relating to commercial and residential real estate in the context of the introduction of a wealth tax, focusing on property in England, Wales and Northern Ireland.

It then looks at the different valuation approaches currently used for a range of taxes including Capital Gains Tax, Inheritance Tax, Stamp Duty Land Tax, the Annual Tax on Enveloped Dwellings, Income Tax, Corporation Tax, Business Rates and Council Tax.
