03 / The figures, with context

What does it report in UK tax?

Lakeland Limited's 2025 filed cash-flow statement reports a £31,000 income-tax cash refund. This is shown as a negative net payment for the year ended 31 December 2025, not as tax paid.

United KingdomYear ended 31 December 2025

UK income taxes refunded

-£31kCash refund

Lakeland Limited
Period ending 31 Dec 2025

The UK company cash-flow statement explicitly reports £31,000 income taxes refunded (£000 column). A refund is a cash inflow, shown here as a negative net payment; it is not a current-year tax charge or proof that no tax was due. [2]

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