    As reported · 22 Dec 2022

VIRTUS's January 2023 announcement gives a 40% MEIF7 stake and completion on 22 December 2022. Macquarie's current case study confirms the continuing strategic partnership with ST Telemedia Global Data Centres. The original percentage retains its transaction date; a later complete cap table has not been reconciled. This is selected ownership evidence, not a complete legal parent or shareholder register. Headquarters and parent incorporation have not been separately verified; the location of operations is not treated as proof of either. [1][2]

03 / The figures, with context

What does it report in UK tax?

The ownership review has not established a dated UK cash corporation-tax payment. Fund investors, operating businesses and property vehicles can have different reporting scopes; no amount is inferred from the investment disclosure.

United KingdomNot yet verified

UK corporation tax paid

Not yet verifiedCash payment

VIRTUS Data Centres · UK reporting scope not verified
Annual reporting period not yet verified

The cited sources establish investment or portfolio information, rather than a dated UK cash payment. The relevant UK tax-paying entity, filed financial period and cash corporation-tax payment have not been separately reconciled in this review. Not verified does not mean that no tax was paid. [1]

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