Farmfoods: Farmfoods Limited is the retail operating company identified in the reviewed disclosures. [1][2]
01 / Behind the name
Farmfoods describes itself as a private family-owned business. The exact current family shareholdings and any intermediate holding-company chain have not been verified. Its Scottish registered office is not treated as proof of headquarters. Current Companies House disclosures for Farmfoods Limited (SC030186): Mr Eric Franklin George Herd: Ownership of shares – More than 50% but less than 75%; Ownership of voting rights - More than 50% but less than 75%; Right to appoint or remove directors. These are statutory control categories, not exact shareholdings. They can overlap, including through trusts, and must not be added together or interpreted as sole ownership. [1][2][5]
02 / On the map
Headquarters, incorporation and tax residence describe different things. A headquarters address does not tell you where all of a company’s tax is paid.

Registered share control only
The reviewed register names share controllers. Exact economic interests, smaller shareholders and the complete ultimate investor chain have not been verified. Individual and family investor entries are currently hidden. 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
The latest Companies House group accounts report £373,000 of tax paid in cash for the 53 weeks ended 3 January 2026. The consolidated subsidiaries listed in those accounts are UK incorporated.
Farmfoods Limited consolidated group
Period ending 3 Jan 2026
The cash-flow statement reports tax paid of £373,000 (£000 column). The group lists only UK-incorporated subsidiaries; its tax note concerns UK corporation tax. This is a consolidated group payment, not a figure for an individual store. [3]
These figures have different scopes. They should not be added together or used as a like-for-like tax ranking.
