EE 55: Meaning of adjusted tax value
or “How to calculate the value of property for tax purposes”
You could also call this:

“How to calculate the adjusted tax value of an asset”

You use a formula to work out the adjusted tax value. The formula is: base value minus total deductions.

The base value is explained in other parts of the law. You can find out what it means by looking at sections EE 57, EE 58, EE 59, and EZ 22(1).

The total deductions are explained in section EE 60.

This formula helps you figure out how much something is worth for tax purposes after you’ve taken away the money you’ve already claimed as a deduction.
