03 / The figures, with context

What does it report in UK tax?

TFS Buying's consolidated payment is not split by country. The subsidiary list includes a Dublin registered office, so the wider-group total is not assigned to the UK cash-tax headline or to an individual shop. The consolidated cash-flow statement reports GBP 2.687m corporation tax paid. This is a group figure with no separately identified UK component, not the retail banner's standalone payment.
