About this role

If you like a tax puzzle, this one could suit you.
I'm partnering with a well-known consumer brand that's looking for an experienced tax professional to help its tax team with a busy period of project work. This is an initial six-month contract.
This is a project-focused role rather than traditional BAU compliance. The team has live tax authority audits running, historical issues to resolve and opportunities to recover overpaid tax. They need someone who can take ownership of that work so day-to-day operations aren't disrupted.
What you'll be doing:
Investigating historical tax and balance sheet positionsSupporting ongoing tax authority audits and investigationsPlaying a key part in a review of historical overseas tax reportingFinding opportunities to recover overpaid tax and other assetsWorking with stakeholders across the business to understand how processes and transactions have been handled in the past
What we're looking for:
A strong VAT compliance background, including returns, reconciliations and balance sheetsExperience supporting tax authority or internal auditsA naturally curious, hands-on approach to getting to the root of complex issuesComfort working independently on ambiguous problemsConfidence explaining tax to people outside the tax functionIdeally, an in-house background in retail, e-commerce or consumer goods. Candidates from the Big Four with broad, practical experience will also be considered.
