How does Mothball’s unique solution work?
- We provide a tenant company that enters into a unique, fit for purpose lease on your vacant commercial property.
- The lease has been meticulously worded to be clear and transparent to all parties.
- The lease is a proven legally effective device that transfers the rates liability from you to the tenant company.
- The tenant company occupies the property from where it trades, demonstrates, and stores its smart building technology.
Why choose Mothball?
Leading rating KCs suggest that the key question to ask is “What is the commercial benefit derived from the occupancy other than the fees made from mitigation, i.e. is there a genuine commercial purpose outside of simply mitigating the rates?”
…when addressed to box-shifting and Bluetooth mitigation schemes, the answer invariably is “none”. The Ramsay Principle (well-known tax case law) was applied by the Supreme Court in closing two such schemes. Junior courts are bound by this decision.
The Mothball solution passes this test, and to our knowledge is the only mitigation process that does!
