Since Joining Parmentier Arthur, Steve has continued to specialise in the valuation of private company shares and unincorporated businesses for tax and employee share scheme purposes. Having worked on both sides of the tax valuation divide, Steve has extensive experience of negotiating share values in a Revenue context. Outside the tax arena, Steve's work is mainly focused on advising on value for share sales and valuation matters arising out of litigation. Steve has acted as expert witness on valuation in a wide range of potential and actual litigation situations and has provided evidence in court in connection with family law proceedings, shareholder disputes, professional negligence claims and breach of warranty claims. He is listed in the Law Society's Directory of Expert Witnesses as an expert in the valuation of private company shares and businesses.
Roy Hogg
Before joining Parmentier
Arthur in May 2004, Roy
spent 3 years with a major tax services company in their
valuation division where he valued businesses and unquoted shares in the
commercial and fiscal areas.
Prior
to that Roy worked for 10 years for the Revenue's Shares Valuation Division,
latterly in the new headquarters in Nottingham, valuing shares and businesses,
primarily for tax purposes. During his time in the Revenue, Roy worked in Shares
Valuation Division's training school where he was responsible for training new entrants

time with Shares Valuation Division gives him an invaluable insight into the thinking
behind the procedures and processes employed by the Revenue and the approach
used by them in negotiation.
