How are shares of private corporations valued for the purpose of income tax?

If somebody gives me stock in a private corporation, how is that gift valued for the purposes of income tax? Assume the stock is unlisted and has no publicly tradable value.

I know that all stocks have a "par value" but usually for a private corporation that par value is nominal.
