How we recover unpaid business rates

A liability order gives us the legal powers to collect your business rates debt using insolvency proceedings (also known as 'bankruptcy' or 'winding up' proceedings).

In extreme circumstances, we use insolvency proceedings against your company if your business rates debt remains unpaid.

This may result in your valuable possessions and assets being taken. Your home may also be sold.
