Valuing shares issued to or bought from a UK parent

CA Utsav Dogra, Chartered Accountant, ICAI M. No. 542375 · Updated

In brief

Shares issued to a UK investor may not be priced below fair value, and when a resident buys shares from that investor the price may not exceed fair value. Fair value uses an internationally accepted method, certified by a Chartered Accountant, a SEBI-registered merchant banker or a registered valuer depending on the case.

What is specific to UK companies

Fair value for UK group reporting under FRS 102 or IFRS is a separate exercise from the FEMA certificate.

Questions

Is a valuation needed at incorporation?

Subscription to the memorandum at face value on incorporation does not need a valuation. Later issues do.
