Two Sussex businesses have been named and shamed on a government list for unpaid tax.
The latest list, published by HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC), shows those who have been given financial penalties for failing to comply with tax obligations or deliberately filing errors in tax returns.
The details of businesses which have defaulted on tax are published every three months and the information is deleted after one year.
Details are published when a person has made at least one deliberate default on more than £25,000, according to HMRC.
