AI Summary

Valuation of leasehold land: use the stamp duty assessment value as the basis for income tax share valuation. The operative valuation for company shares where the asset is leasehold land is the value taken for assessment of stamp duty; this statutory valuation standard, as invoked by the respondent referring to the applicable valuation rule, governs income tax valuation rather than relying on book value or the company's internal figures.
