Significant events
- “On 25 June 2025, Kwik-Fit Holdings Limited sold its entire shareholding in Kwik-Fit (GB) Limited to its immediate parent company, European Tyre Enterprise Limited, at net book value. This event formed part of a wider group restructuring initiative aimed at streamlining the Group’s corporate structure and aligning operational entities under a common parent. It has been treated as non-adjusting post-balance sheet event for the year ended 31 March 2025.”
- “During the year ended 31 March 2025, Kwik-Fit (GB) Limited and its subsidiaries disclosed a VAT error to HMRC. An error arose from not recognising input VAT on purchases made by virtual credit cards. Management engaged with HMRC via an Error Correction Notice (ECN) to rectify this. Following HMRC's review, Kwik-Fit (GB) Limited and its subsidiaries will receive £0.7m in VAT. This was treated as an adjusting post-balance sheet event, increasing the Group's total net assets by £0.7m.”

Each % is (latest − prior) ÷ |prior| for the line item as filed. The comparison is only shown when the latest and prior accounts cover broadly equal-length periods — short or long stubs (typical around incorporation or a year-end change) are suppressed rather than misrepresented. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers
