However, much of the former figure is owed by businesses who have long ceased any activity, hastily bankrupt companies, and individuals no longer economically active or even alive.
Conversely, the number of individuals shown as owing arrears dropped by 5% yoy, to more than 4.253 million from 4.471 in 2023.
