    HUGO BOSS AG [1][2][3]

    As reported · 27 Sept 2026

BOSS is a HUGO BOSS brand. The shareholder page shows substantial Frasers and Marzotto interests alongside other investors; it does not establish sole ownership by either shareholder. Frasers' 1 September announcement precisely corroborates 47.89% of shares and voting rights at 18 August 2026. The offer was completed in September, but a completed majority acquisition was not established. [1][2][3][4][5]

03 / The figures, with context

What does it report in UK tax?

The cited disclosures establish corporate identity and ownership. A UK cash-tax review is outstanding: no worldwide total, accounting tax charge, franchise operator’s payment or parent-group amount is substituted for this brand’s UK cash tax.

United KingdomAnnual period unverified

UK corporation tax paid

Not yet verifiedCash payment

BOSS · UK entity scope not yet verified
Annual reporting period not yet verified

The sources reviewed here establish corporate identity or ownership, not a verified UK-only cash corporation-tax payment. The relevant UK entities, annual reporting period and cash amount still need checking. This is not a zero payment or a finding that the company does not disclose tax. [1][2][3]

These figures have different scopes. They should not be added together or used as a like-for-like tax ranking.
