Period ending 28 Mar 2026

The operating company's cash-flow statement reports £57m income tax paid (£m column). Its accounts identify UK discount retail activity and reconcile the tax expense using the UK corporation-tax rate. This is B&M Retail Limited, not the wider group that also includes France and Heron Foods. [2]
