The decision in the Adminstrative Court R (Makro Properties Ltd) v Nuneaton and Bedworth Borough Council" ([2012] EWHC 2250 (Admin)) is of great interest to legal practitioners seeking to minimise their clients' business rates liability. As there is now no "de minimis" threshold in rating law, the avoidance technique is equally applicable to every kind of business in all kinds of properties. However the opportunity afforded by "Makro" may be short-lived.
