Looking for some advice really

A mate has been running a small workshop for a few years without paying his Business Rates to the local council

There is a chance that the authorities may find out – so the big question is, would he have to pay back all the years which he hasn’t paid?

It’s about £1200 a year, so the bill could be substantial

Does anyone know if the local council might prosecute him for non-payment?

Any and all advice highly appreciated

Cheers

I’m pretty sure they can only go back three years…my dad had a similar issue when building a house on where he used to keep wagons.

Thanks d45yth
