Just a month late with the filing of the accounts - marked by CH as received 29 Jan 2021

I have no issue with there being no ct liability.

Your presumption isn’t the main factor in the computation: it is mostly due to the way share based awards to staff are treated. Quite common in companies like this where the shares involved are in the parent co.
