Arviointiperustan

Arviointiperustan is a Finnish term that translates to "valuation basis" or "valuation standard." It refers to the principles and criteria used to determine the value of an asset, such as real estate, in the context of taxation and property transactions. The valuation basis is established by the Finnish Tax Administration and is governed by the Property Tax Act and related regulations.

The primary goal of the arviointiperustan is to ensure that property taxes are fair and equitable, reflecting the true market value of the property. The valuation process takes into account various factors, including the property's size, location, condition, and any unique features. Professional valuers, often certified by the Finnish Valuation Association, conduct the assessments.

The arviointiperustan is periodically reviewed and updated to reflect changes in the real estate market and economic conditions. This ensures that the valuation standards remain relevant and accurate. The process involves extensive research, market analysis, and sometimes physical inspections of properties.

In addition to property taxation, the arviointiperustan is also relevant for other purposes, such as determining the value of properties for inheritance tax, mortgage lending, and insurance purposes. It provides a consistent and reliable framework for valuing real estate in Finland, contributing to the stability and transparency of the property market.
