The following rules and regulations are hereby promulgated to amend certain provisions of AO 17:

LV = (CS x .3)+(CNI x .4)+(MV x .3)
Where: LV = Land Value
CS = Comparable Sales

MV = Market Value per Tax Declaration
1.1 If all the factors for valuation are present, the land value shall be computed in accordance with the above formula.
1.2 Where CS could not be obtained and market value per mortgage (MVM) or Cost of Acquisition (CA) are not applicable, the formula to be used shall be:
LV = (CNI x .70) + (MV x .30)
1.3 Where CNI could not be obtained and only CS and MV are relevant/present, the formula to be used shall be:
LV = (CS x .55) + (MV x .45)
1.4 In case CNI and CS are not available, land valuation shall be based on the Market Value per tax declaration multiplied by 2. (MV x 2)
1.5 In all the above, the computed value using the formula or the Declared Value (DV), as defined in AO 17, whichever is lower, shall be adopted as the land value.
2. Comparable Sales, Capitalized Net Income and Market Value per Tax Declaration are as defined in Section I (A-F of AO 17) except when modified/amended by this Circular.

4. Whenever the cost of operations could not be obtained and verified, a 20% net income factor shall be used. A different net income factor may, however, be used for a particular crop as result of industry study which may be conducted as situations warrant. The use of the same shall be covered by a circular to all concerned.
5. A net income capitalization rate of 16% shall be used.
