Three Slough businesses have been named and shamed by the government for unpaid tax.
Her Majesty's Revenue and Customs publish a full list of business and people who have not followed the tax obligations or have tried to dodge paying tax by deliberately making errors in tax return forms.
The current version was published earlier this week and will be updated in the next three months.
Information is wiped after a year by HMRC, who say that specific laws means its hands are tied when it comes to revealing any more details about the default.
It can only publish the business name, the address it was trading from, the amount of tax unpaid, and the time frame of the offence.
Under the same law, details can only be published when a business or company has been charged and given a penalty for tax of more than £25,000.
