Arvonannosta

Arvonannosta is a Finnish term formed from arvo meaning value and anto meaning giving or granting. In practice, the form arvonannosta appears in formal or legal language to refer to the act of assigning or declaring the value of assets or property. The word is relatively uncommon in everyday Finnish, and many texts prefer arvonanto or related phrasing. Because arvonannosta is not a widely standardized term, its exact usage can vary by context.

In practical terms, arvonannosta would describe the process of valuing assets for official purposes. This can include taxation, estate administration, or financial reporting, where the declared value affects tax bases, duties, or the calculation of shares. Valuation is typically performed by a qualified appraiser and guided by applicable laws, regulations, and guidelines. Documentation and justification of the stated value are important to ensure credibility and to prevent disputes.

In inheritance contexts, the value assigned to each asset in an estate inventory influences how the estate is divided among heirs and how deductions or compulsory shares are applied. In corporate or gift contexts, asset valuations are used to determine transfer values and corresponding tax implications. Given its rarity, some writers might replace arvonannosta with arvonanto or simply refer to valuation steps more generally.

If the intended term was different (for example arvonasta, arvontosta, or arvontaan), its meaning would align with draws or lotteries rather than valuation. See also arvonanto, arvonlisävero.
