Australia's CGT transition creates a valuation question across millions of unlisted assets. The bottleneck is not demand — it is practitioner hours. Increm turns preparation into review.
The Treasury Laws Amendment (Tax Reform No. 1) Act 2026 creates a deemed-disposal event for every CGT asset held at 30 June 2027. Listed securities answer the valuation question automatically. Private businesses, goodwill, contractual rights and other unlisted interests do not.
Australia has approximately 5,500–6,500 fully qualified valuers. The pool credentialled for SME business valuation is substantially smaller. A conventional SME business valuation consumes approximately twenty specialist hours. Demand can move quickly. The credentialled practitioner pool cannot.
But the transition creates a second, less obvious problem: evidence decay. The law does not require a taxpayer to obtain a valuation by 30 June 2027 — that election is made when the asset is eventually realised. Records, contracts, market context and institutional knowledge are easier to establish contemporaneously than years later.
Establish the evidence now. Choose the better method later.
A conventional valuation bundles evidence preparation with professional judgement. Increm separates them — automating the first, protecting the second.
From initial triage through to ongoing evidence maintenance — every product serves a distinct role in the client journey.
Increm is distributed through accounting, tax, legal and advisory firms. You retain the client relationship and the retail margin. We provide the platform, the workflow and the practitioner network.
The model is explicit: the Exposure Scan earns adviser trust by sometimes recommending no valuation. You can put Increm in front of any client and trust the output — because it is willing to say the valuation is not worth the fee.
The core workflow has already operated once in a live engagement. Peloton Group — one of Australia's most respected independent business valuers — was engaged to value Inkl Pty Ltd. The founders used Increm's production agents rather than manual assembly.
Evidence preparation and professional opinion can be governed as distinct output classes. When the external document was reframed as a pure Information Memorandum, valuation ranges and implied conclusions were removed from the external pack and maintained separately in an internal working paper. That governance boundary is the operating principle the production platform formalises.
Twenty historical Peloton valuation cases will be run through the production pipeline. The signed historical conclusion is withheld from the system until each case is complete. The workflow is frozen before unblinding. Every case is reported — including failures. Target: median absolute deviation of 10% or less.
We are assembling a small group of accounting and advisory firms for the pilot cohort. The pilot runs across 50–200 engagements through 2–5 partner firms ahead of the 30 June 2027 transition date.
If you advise clients with private business interests, unlisted investments or pre-CGT assets, we'd like to hear from you.
