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

Burger King · 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]

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