This follows a period of industry consultation, led by the Department for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities, which focused on tactical steps to avoid avoidance and evasion rather than a complete systems overhaul.In summarising the results, Shalif initially focused on mitigations that are likely to become less effective over time, in England at least, due to changes in legislation and local authority priorities.<\/p>\n<p>Avoiding business rates with artificial insolvency arrangements is already proving ineffective as a loophole and remains best avoided. Shalylef, however, goes on to discuss guardianship, resetting \u2018the clock\u2019 with six weeks of occupancy and temporary reclassification to agricultural space in some detail. For example, the response to turning a commercial space into a &#8216;snail farm&#8217; is likely to differ from locality to locality. Some English Councils will not fight it, as it is too difficult, others will scrutinise it more than they have done previously. English councils have taken disputed agricultural use cases to court and won.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/p><\/div>\n<div class='flex_column av-23hry8-7881a801b0bde97bcb7170e656b6ba38 av_one_half  avia-builder-el-11  el_after_av_one_full  el_before_av_one_half  first flex_column_div column-top-margin'   ><style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-lpik24if-628f9c4e64e3f431d971f88d5c85329a\">\n.avia-image-container.av-lpik24if-628f9c4e64e3f431d971f88d5c85329a .av-image-caption-overlay-center{\ncolor:#ffffff;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='avia-image-container av-lpik24if-628f9c4e64e3f431d971f88d5c85329a av-styling- avia-align-center  avia-builder-el-12  avia-builder-el-no-sibling '  itemprop=\"image\" itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/ImageObject\" ><div class=\"avia-image-container-inner\"><div class=\"avia-image-overlay-wrap\"><img decoding=\"async\" class='wp-image-735 avia-img-lazy-loading-not-735 avia_image' src=\"https:\/\/astop.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Ineffective-Strategies-For-Managing.png\" alt='Ineffective Strategies For Managing' title='Ineffective Strategies For Managing'  height=\"480\" width=\"570\"  itemprop=\"thumbnailUrl\" srcset=\"https:\/\/astop.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Ineffective-Strategies-For-Managing.png 570w, https:\/\/astop.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Ineffective-Strategies-For-Managing-300x253.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 570px) 100vw, 570px\" \/><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<div class='flex_column av-29wyhc-137a3da47eb94036eb6d753fe3815cab av_one_half  avia-builder-el-13  el_after_av_one_half  el_before_av_one_full  flex_column_div column-top-margin'   ><section  class='av_textblock_section av-lujkaof1-f6809a0624134917a953f800a7e49a83'  itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/BlogPosting\" itemprop=\"blogPost\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><p>While not universally applicable, using guardian programs to occupy buildings temporarily can be beneficial for preventing squatting and damage due to disuse, though it&#8217;s not suitable for all types of properties.

Both follow the principle that the best way to avoid paying rates on an empty property is to make sure your property isn\u2019t empty.<\/p>\n<p>The first is to \u2018cut a deal\u2019 with a retail or commercial tenant. This might involve reduced rent, a rent-free period or other support. This could lead to 100% small business relief or 75% retail, hospitality or leisure relief in England.<\/p>\n<p>The second option, and ASTOP\u2019s speciality, is involving the charity sector. After fundraising, charities\u2019 biggest challenge is finding appropriate space. Helping a charity in this area could lead to an 80% reduction in rates without a Rateable Value cap.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/p><\/div>\n<div class='flex_column av-75022-6701c43ac26715f81768a80dfd608842 av_one_full  avia-builder-el-18  el_after_av_one_full  el_before_av_one_half  first flex_column_div column-top-margin'   ><style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-lrahvcd4-d05d762406c2be5e9a7b7b320eff1772\">\n#top .av-special-heading.av-lrahvcd4-d05d762406c2be5e9a7b7b320eff1772{\npadding-bottom:10px;\n}\nbody .av-special-heading.av-lrahvcd4-d05d762406c2be5e9a7b7b320eff1772 .av-special-heading-tag .heading-char{\nfont-size:25px;\n}\n.av-special-heading.av-lrahvcd4-d05d762406c2be5e9a7b7b320eff1772 .av-subheading{\nfont-size:15px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='av-special-heading av-lrahvcd4-d05d762406c2be5e9a7b7b320eff1772 av-special-heading-h2 blockquote modern-quote  avia-builder-el-19  avia-builder-el-no-sibling '><h2 class='av-special-heading-tag'  itemprop=\"headline\"  >Predictions For Changes in Empty Property Business Rate Reduction <\/h2><div class=\"special-heading-border\"><div class=\"special-heading-inner-border\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<div class='flex_column av-130p48-110aa6a7274b4595119083821834670e av_one_half  avia-builder-el-20  el_after_av_one_full  el_before_av_one_half  first flex_column_div column-top-margin'   ><section  class='av_textblock_section av-shy6-603c20d91ad3e454d352c5e065432608'  itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/BlogPosting\" itemprop=\"blogPost\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Shaylef shared some predictions for the future of empty property business relief. He suggested the six-week \u2018reset\u2019 period would be extended to six months making it a lot less effective as a mitigation tool. He also suggested industrial property owners who currently get 6 months of relief might see this halved to 3 months.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Shaylef also highlighted a natural trend towards local councils having more power in this area. He also suggested a twelve-month time limit may be applied to insolvency cases so, after closing down, you are less likely to see chain stores left empty for multiple years.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Other predictions centre on clearer guidance from the Valuation Office, tighter checks on the application of Small Business Rates Relief and time limits on how long new builds can be left empty.\u00a0 Shaylef\u2019s final prediction is a growth in the importance of ethical business rates relief and an increased willingness amongst local English councils to participate in such schemes. <\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div>\n<div class='flex_column av-1cxe60-deb4012857815167831903e559e2dd92 av_one_half  avia-builder-el-22  el_after_av_one_half  el_before_av_one_full  flex_column_div column-top-margin'   ><style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-1auoco-ef1322a3a1fcbe7d6e4284e04f23d4be\">\n.avia-image-container.av-1auoco-ef1322a3a1fcbe7d6e4284e04f23d4be .av-image-caption-overlay-center{\ncolor:#ffffff;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='avia-image-container av-1auoco-ef1322a3a1fcbe7d6e4284e04f23d4be av-styling- avia-align-center  avia-builder-el-23  avia-builder-el-no-sibling '  itemprop=\"image\" itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/ImageObject\" ><div class=\"avia-image-container-inner\"><div class=\"avia-image-overlay-wrap\"><img decoding=\"async\" class='wp-image-734 avia-img-lazy-loading-not-734 avia_image' src=\"https:\/\/astop.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Empty-Property-Business-Rate-Reduction.png\" alt='Empty Property Business Rate Reduction' title='Empty Property Business Rate Reduction'  height=\"480\" width=\"570\"  itemprop=\"thumbnailUrl\" srcset=\"https:\/\/astop.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Empty-Property-Business-Rate-Reduction.png 570w, https:\/\/astop.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Empty-Property-Business-Rate-Reduction-300x253.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 570px) 100vw, 570px\" \/><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<div class='flex_column av-vcjrx-baf398766df6a6c57290cd5a325c509e av_one_full  avia-builder-el-24  el_after_av_one_half  avia-builder-el-last  first flex_column_div column-top-margin'   ><p>\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-lqxo1xsp-8a8f68c090cb64e28c25f443d37ad713\">\n#top .av-special-heading.av-lqxo1xsp-8a8f68c090cb64e28c25f443d37ad713{\npadding-bottom:10px;\n}\nbody .av-special-heading.av-lqxo1xsp-8a8f68c090cb64e28c25f443d37ad713 .av-special-heading-tag .heading-char{\nfont-size:25px;\n}\n.av-special-heading.av-lqxo1xsp-8a8f68c090cb64e28c25f443d37ad713 .av-subheading{\nfont-size:15px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='av-special-heading av-lqxo1xsp-8a8f68c090cb64e28c25f443d37ad713 av-special-heading-h2 blockquote modern-quote  avia-builder-el-25  el_before_av_textblock  avia-builder-el-first '><h2 class='av-special-heading-tag'  itemprop=\"headline\"  >The Benefits of Ethical Empty Property Business Rate Reduction<\/h2><div class=\"special-heading-border\"><div class=\"special-heading-inner-border\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><br \/>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-lqxo25i0-a3ff2b8a3ed7c65d5cbde7345d03c883'  itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/BlogPosting\" itemprop=\"blogPost\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Currently, Shaylef explains that working with a charity saves roughly the same as undertaking a process of paying rates every 43 days and resetting the rates clock with repeated six weeks of occupation. This doesn\u2019t, however, include tax relief at the end of a twelve-month period. If you let a charity use your space, you can claim the value of the rental period to reduce your taxable profits even though no money changed hands.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In the future, if England follows Scotland and Wales, it is likely the six-week occupancy period will be extended to six months. This means significantly less tax relief is available using temporary occupancy as your mitigation method. Working with a charity, however, remains the same and becomes a much more viable option for landlords.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Shaylef works through specific examples, with illustrative graphs, in the video of his presentation <\/span><a href=\"#video-empty-business-rate\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">here<\/span><\/a>.<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> It is worth watching if you are currently navigating the complexities of business rates management.
