03 / The figures, with context

What does it report in UK tax?

Kingfisher's country-by-country tax report identifies £80.2m corporate income tax paid by its UK entities in 2024/25. This covers both B&Q and Screwfix and other Kingfisher UK entities; it is not either banner's own payment. The newer 2025/26 annual report gives £65m income tax paid by the multinational group without a UK split.

Kingfisher's country-by-country report gives £80.2m for all its UK entities. It cannot be allocated to either retail banner. The same group figure appears on both profiles and must not be added twice. [3]

Period ending 31 Jan 2026

The newer annual report gives a worldwide income-tax cash amount but does not split the payment by country. The separate retail-company accounts reviewed do not provide a cash-flow statement. [4][5]

Kingfisher plc consolidated group
Period ending 31 Jan 2026

The consolidated cash-flow statement reports £65m income tax paid across the multinational group. This is not a UK-only amount. A separate £64m other tax-authority receipt is shown on the next line and is not included in this payment. [4]

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