From construction to consultancy - here's the full list of this year's deliberate tax defaulters who have been named and shamed.
Corporate reports released by HM Revenue and Customers every quarter 'names and shames' the businesses and individuals who have been caught filing incorrect tax reports across the country.
Many are ordered to pay penalties for either deliberately filing errors in their tax returns or deliberately failing to comply with tax obligations.
This year, several Berkshire-based businesses and workers have made it onto the 2024 list, the details of which were published in March and June.
