National Average Market Values of Specified Livestock Determination 2019
This determination establishes the national average market value (NAMV) of specified livestock for 2019.
Note to this determination
This note does not form part of the national average market values of specified livestock determination 2019 (the determination) but are produced to aid Inland Revenue staff, taxpayers and their agents in their understanding of how the values contained in this determination are arrived at and how they should be used.
Section EC 15 of the Income Tax Act 2007 (the Act) requires the Commissioner of Inland Revenue (CIR) to make a determination declaring the national average market values (NAMV) of certain types and classes of livestock. This determination is published in May each year.
These NAMVs are used by livestock owners to value their livestock on hand where owners have elected to use the herd scheme to value livestock in an income year.
As the name of this determination suggests, NAMVs provide the national average market value of specified livestock classes. As such they may not always reflect the market value of the livestock of a particular taxpayer, or of a particular region. This being so, the values are not intended to be used for any other purpose than that for which they are produced; valuing livestock of taxpayers who have elected to value their livestock under the herd scheme in the income year for which the determination relates.
In order to ascertain the market value of the various classes of livestock the CIR contracts with a number of experienced livestock valuers situated throughout the country¹. Each valuer is asked to provide the market value of the various specified livestock classes located in their region. There is generally more than one valuer contracted for each region. The market valuations required are for “good quality on-farm animals (capital stock)” as at 30 April. From these values the CIR then calculates the national average market value for each livestock class. In the case of sheep, beef, dairy cattle and deer (red, wapiti and elk) classes a weighted average is used (based on total livestock numbers for a type of livestock in that region compared to the national herd numbers for that type of livestock²). Because of the comparatively low numbers of livestock, a straight average is used for the remaining livestock types.
1: 38 valuations were obtained for the 2018 determination.
2: Numbers are based on data collated by Statistics New Zealand.
