Rating: Law and Practice - The ATM Case
The UK Supreme Court has
handed down a final decision on the rateability of ATM sites. After a 7 year
dispute, it is finally settled, ATM sites at supermarkets and convenience stores
are not separately rateable. What are the consequences in relation to rating
law and practice? The devil’s in the detail. This is our third event that
delves into the core issues with a rating advisor, solicitor and barrister to
explore the ramifications of the decision and how it affects rating law and
practice.

The ATM case brings to
an end 7 years of dispute between the VOA and operators of ATM machines. It
will be of considerable importance to the law of rating. Cash machines in
supermarkets and convenience stores are not separate hereditaments for rating
purposes. This decision upholds the Court of Appeal decision. The judgement brings into focus many thousands of outstanding 2010
rating list appeals that were stayed pending the court’s decision. These
will all now need to be resolved and amendments made to the 2017 rating lists
also. The decision has implications for all those who have a stake in the
rating system.
