[BristolBathPM] Anyone know about valuing software IP and Websites?

HI Lyle,

  Anyone know about valuing software IP and Websites for your end of

> year accounts?


Your accountant will probably have a metric they can use. The value of your
IP in software is a tricky one - one measure is the cost of creating it
(hours spent etc) another is what someone would pay for it if you had to
sell it.

Also there are tax breaks for innovation and research - so if you can show
that some of your software is for research and development you can actually
receive a tax credit.

The number of CD's won't increase the value --- it's the copyright in the
contents that is valuable.

Other intangible assets include your domain names, trade marks and goodwill.
