03 / The figures, with context

What does it report in UK tax?

The Entertainer's parent TEAL group reports £480,000 corporation tax paid for 2024/25. The group has foreign activity and does not identify a UK-only cash payment; the UK operating-company filing omits a cash-flow statement.

United KingdomPeriod ended 1 February 2025

UK corporation tax paid

Not separately disclosedCash payment

The Entertainer (Amersham) Limited
Period ending 1 Feb 2025

The operating company filing has no cash-flow statement. TEAL's consolidated payment includes a group with Spanish activity and foreign tax, without a UK cash split. [3][4]

£480kCash payment

TEAL Group Holdings Limited consolidated group
Period ending 1 Feb 2025

TEAL's group cash-flow statement reports £480,000 corporation tax paid (£000 column). Its tax note includes foreign tax and the group had Spanish subsidiary activity, so this is not a verified UK-only amount or The Entertainer banner's standalone payment. [4]

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