Summary
When submitting independent property asset calculations to the Australian Taxation Office (ATO) or legal bodies, appraisals must be executed by a professional holding the Certified Practising Valuer (CPV) designation. This qualification is regulated directly by the Australian Property Institute (API). Bank valuations intended only for internal loan-to-value calculations fail to meet compliance criteria for formal tax or division assessments.
