The city firm with the biggest tax debt, a management consultancy, owed an astonishing £87.4 million between February 1, 2019 and January 31, 2024.

Kevin Hubbard, HMRC’s director of individuals and small business compliance, said: “We are actively tackling tax non-compliance among high street businesses across the UK, and today’s naming’s show we will act wherever we find it.

“Everyone on this list had the opportunity to come forward to make a full disclosure – and didn’t. HMRC will always pursue those who deliberately refuse to pay what they owe.”
