Join us for the Massachusetts Bar Association’s Taxation Law Section Council’s Tax Talk
Tuesdays luncheon series, where tax law attorneys gather to discuss the latest
trends, developments and insights in the world of taxation. This series will
feature three in-depth programs designed to provide valuable updates and expert
perspectives on key topics shaping the tax landscape in 2025.
This program provides an exploration of property tax valuation approaches,
focusing on the key elements that influence property assessments. Topics include
the distinction between the willing buyer/willing seller sale price and the
valuation of fee simple interest, with a focus on how each impacts property tax
calculations. The program will guide participants through the process of
extracting property value from business value, a critical skill in cases where
real estate is intertwined with business operations.
It will also cover examples of challenging property valuation cases,
including unique, complex, or difficult-to-assess properties. Finally, the
program will offer a step-by-step procedure for appealing property tax
assessments, ensuring that participants are equipped with the knowledge to
navigate disputes effectively.
Don't miss this opportunity to connect with fellow professionals, stay
informed on crucial tax issues, and gain insights that will enhance your
expertise and practice.
