UK cash corporation tax has not been verified in this ownership review. This does not mean no tax was paid.
Joseph Holt · UK cash reporting scope not reconciled
Annual reporting period not yet verified
This beer ownership review has not established a UK cash corporation-tax payment. Ownership percentages, worldwide tax figures and beer duties do not establish that amount. [1]
These figures have different scopes. They should not be added together or used as a like-for-like tax ranking.
