EC 2: Valuation of livestock

You could also call this:

“How to value your livestock at the end of each tax year”

At the end of each income year, you need to work out how much your livestock is worth. You must use a method that is allowed for you under this part of the law.

The value you work out has two important uses. First, it’s the closing value of your livestock for the current income year. This is used in section CH 1, which deals with adjusting the closing values of things like trading stock and livestock. Second, it becomes the opening value of your livestock for the next income year. This opening value is used in section DB 49, which deals with adjusting the opening values of similar items.
