Wedley vs. Assessor of Area 08
W.C. Wedley
published: 2006 | Case Study | Accounting/Finance
Subject Area: Accounting/Finance
Key Issues: Multiple regression; Goods and services tax; Market valuation; Statistical analysis
Case Description: The Wedley's purchased a new
residence and were subsequently assessed at market value plus Canada's
Goods and Services Tax. They objected claiming that including G.S.T.
causes double taxation. Moreover, the G.S.T. is a tax on market value
not part of that value. To win their appeal, they must prove that
GST is not part of value or that they have been assessed
unfairly. Multiple regression and other statistical techniques
can be used to analyze the data that the Wedley's collected.
