Registered significant control

The operating company is identified from the brand’s legal disclosures. The profile does not equate founder status with a verified current shareholding or assert that the UK operator is the ultimate holding company. Bectin's filed accounts list The White Company within the group and say Charles Tyrwhitt Holding Company, incorporated in the Isle of Man and UK tax resident, acquired all Bectin shares on 21 November 2025. They identify no single ultimate controlling party; the full current beneficial-owner chain remains unverified. Current Companies House disclosures for The White Company (U.K.) Limited (02998082): The White Company Holding Co Limited: Ownership of shares – 75% or more; Ownership of voting rights - 75% or more; Right to appoint or remove directors. These are statutory control categories, not exact shareholdings. They can overlap, including through trusts, and must not be added together or interpreted as sole ownership. [1][2][5][7]

03 / The figures, with context

What does it report in UK tax?

The operating-company accounts use an FRS 102 cash-flow statement disclosure exemption. A cash corporation-tax payment is not separately disclosed in this filing; neither tax expense nor the parent group's results supplies that missing figure.

£3.1mCash payment

The White Company Holding Co Limited consolidated group
Period ending 2 Aug 2025

The holding group's cash-flow statement reports £3.103m corporation tax paid (£000 column). Its Irish subsidiary means this is not a separately verified UK-only amount. This smaller group is included within Bectin's wider group, whose cash figure must not be added to it. [4]
