There will be episodes in an accountant’s career when clients
need to be represented to third parties. One possible occasion is
in the case of tax evaluation or assessments.
When a client’s property is assessed and then taxed for well
over what the property is worth, the client may need you to
create a letter of appeal to the body who is assessing and then
taxing that property.
For this assignment I would like you to create a case in which
your client and his or her property has been assessed over and
above what you and the client believes is the true value of that
property.
Then, using evidence, create a letter of appeal on behalf of your
client that argues that the assessment is too high and that the
value—and therefore the potential property tax—must be
lowered.
Some things to keep in mind:
The laws, codes and regulations of the community or taxing
