    As reported · 9 Oct 2026

Roadchef identifies MEIF6, through its Luxembourg platform, as its owner. MAM manages the fund; this is not a direct Macquarie Group corporate stake. McDonald's, Costa Coffee and LEON are brand partners. Pret outlets operate through a franchise partnership; these arrangements do not establish ownership of the worldwide brands. This is selected ownership evidence, not a complete legal parent or shareholder register. Headquarters and parent incorporation have not been separately verified; the location of operations is not treated as proof of either. [1][2][3]

03 / The figures, with context

What does it report in UK tax?

The ownership review has not established a dated UK cash corporation-tax payment. Fund investors, operating businesses and property vehicles can have different reporting scopes; no amount is inferred from the investment disclosure.

United KingdomNot yet verified

UK corporation tax paid

Not yet verifiedCash payment

Roadchef · UK reporting scope not verified
Annual reporting period not yet verified

The cited sources establish investment or portfolio information, rather than a dated UK cash payment. The relevant UK tax-paying entity, filed financial period and cash corporation-tax payment have not been separately reconciled in this review. Not verified does not mean that no tax was paid. [1]

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