I have had a lot of mistakes filing my taxes (Spain) when I was working as a contractor. You pay a small fine (100€ for a yearly report) and move on.

You will be prosecuted if you lied in your taxes. But, mistakes happen all the time and its not big deal.

Do you have to pay backtaxes or is it just $100 and move on?

Yes. I have to pay the taxes. The 100 is a fine for doing it wrong and I guess pay for the extra time that they need to spend.
