Valuation of Partnership Interest
Determine how the amount to be paid to a withdrawing/retiring, expelled or deceased partner for the partner’s interest in the partnership is to be calculated. Determine whether goodwill will be included in the valuation. If so, the valuation could be based on a reasonable multiple of profits over the past several years or a multiple of book value at cost or depreciated value or at a value to be determined annually/periodically by all partners. If goodwill is not to be included, a valuation may be based on advances or loans plus a share of capital assets, including amounts contributed by partners, plus the undrawn share of profits. Income tax consequences could impact the valuation. An auditor/accountant can assist in advising on a reasonable and workable valuation formula, which should be included in the agreement. The valuation should not be based on future profits, as this may cause the retiring partner to be considered a continuing partner (see s. 3 of the Act).
