Investors in DFS

Investors not yet verified

Named investors have not yet been established from the evidence used in this directory. This is a research gap; it does not mean the company has no investors. A stake in a parent or operating company is shown against that entity. Dates refer to each disclosure and can differ from the profile review date. Evidence links are included with each record.

03 / The figures, with context

What does it report in UK tax?

The shared DFS group accounts report £3.7m tax paid in cash for the 52 weeks ended 29 June 2025. The group has Republic of Ireland branches, so a UK-only amount for this banner is not separately disclosed in the reviewed accounts.

The reviewed consolidated accounts report a wider group cash tax amount but do not separately identify the UK cash corporation-tax amount for this retailer. [2][3]

DFS Furniture plc consolidated group
Period ending 29 Jun 2025

The group cash-flow reconciliation reports £3.7m tax paid. DFS Trading Limited also operates branches in the Republic of Ireland, so the filing does not isolate UK-only cash corporation tax. The same group amount appears on both DFS and Sofology profiles and should not be added twice. [2][3]

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