UNVEILING THE E - SALES THEORY

2:45 PM TO 3:45 PM

“ A TANGIBLE PERSONAL PROPERTY REDUCTION SCHEME ”

Jim Turner, CPA, President Turner Business Appraisers, Inc.

A new tangible personal property appraisal scheme was recently vetted in Courts in Florida and North Car olina. The presenter served as an expert witness on behalf of the County in a landmark case. During this timely presentation you will hear firsthand the facts, circumstances, and complexities which allowed “the eSales Theory” to make its way into the courts. Proponents promote that one can accurately appraise in stalled, operating, tangible personal property based upon the value garnered from “used comparable tangible personal property” either sold or “for sale” online via venues like eBay. This lively presentation will focus on the following: (1) Identification and examples of the deficiencies within the eSales theory; (2) When and how to accurately use the market approach to appraise TPP (3) How to successfully defend your assess ments against the eSales Theory (4) Identification of the proponents of the eSales Theory and the outcome of a Landmark court case.
