03 / The figures, with context

What does it report in UK tax?

Toolstation Limited's filed 2025 accounts omit a cash-flow statement under an exemption. Travis Perkins reports £21.7m net current taxes paid for the wider multinational group, which cannot be allocated to Toolstation UK.

United KingdomYear ended 31 December 2025

UK corporation tax paid

Not separately disclosedCash payment

Toolstation Limited
Period ending 31 Dec 2025

Toolstation Limited's accounts claim a cash-flow statement exemption, so they do not report its cash corporation-tax payment. The Travis Perkins group payment is not a Toolstation UK payment. [3][4]

Consolidated groupYear ended 31 December 2025

Group net current taxes paid

£21.7mCash payment

Travis Perkins plc consolidated group
Period ending 31 Dec 2025

The group's tax contribution reconciliation reports £21.7m net current taxes paid in 2025, after prior-year refunds. Its subsidiaries include overseas Toolstation entities, so this is neither a UK-only amount nor a Toolstation-only amount. [4][5]

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