03 / The figures, with context

What does it report in UK tax?

The last filed UK group cash-flow statement located reports £760,499 income taxes paid for the year ended 31 March 2024. Poundstretcher Limited's newer accounts for the period ended 28 June 2025 omit a cash-flow statement, so that older payment remains explicitly dated.

Poundstretcher Leicester Limited consolidated group
Period ending 31 Mar 2024

The group cash-flow statement reports £760,499 income taxes paid. The subsidiary note lists only UK companies. This older group payment is not Poundstretcher Limited's standalone payment and predates the April 2024 change of control. [4]

The newer operating-company accounts use a cash-flow statement exemption. A 2025 cash payment cannot be inferred from the tax charge or the older group figure. [3]

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