From the Daily Telegraph

I can se how they end up paying the tax listed but I'm somewhat dubious about the notion they can turn a £325m operating profit into a £41m declared loss. HMRC should probably look at that. Hands up who thinks they actually will...

You misread the article. It's £325m turnover, £27m profit, £6m tax.

But those are perfectly legal, as is the £50m share issue that pushed them into such a fortuitous loss.
