Pre-tax profits jumped to £34.2m in the year to 27 September, compared with less than £2m the previous year.
Sales grew by 3.8% after the company invested heavily in turning the business around.
The
UK arm of the world's biggest coffee chain said in 2012 it would pay
significantly more in tax after a public outcry at how little it paid.
Prior
to 2012, the company paid just £8.6m in corporation tax in its 14 years
of trading in the UK, despite sales worth billions of pounds. In 2011,
for example, the company recorded sales of almost £400m.
