03 / The figures, with context

What does it report in UK tax?

The current website identifies The Body Shop International Limited as the legal business. Its 2025 trading-period accounts had not been filed at Companies House by 28 September 2026; the older dormant-company filing does not show current trading tax paid.

United KingdomAccounts made up to 31 December 2025

UK corporation tax paid

Not yet verifiedCash payment

The Body Shop International Limited
Period ending 31 Dec 2025

Companies House listed only dormant-company accounts to August 2024 as filed on 28 September 2026. The current company's accounts to December 2025 were due by December 2026, so a cash corporation-tax amount for its trading period cannot yet be verified from that filing. [2][3]

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