Job Details
Your new company
My client, a leading legal firm with a presence across the UK, is looking for a qualified Tax Manager to join them to manage all aspects of the Firm's tax affairs. They have an excellent hybrid working policy, with only one day in the office, along with flexible working hours to suit personal circumstances. You will be supported by one direct report and take ownership of tax compliance, reporting and governance, while providing proactive tax advisory support to the business. This is an in-house role, not client-facing.
Your new role
You will:
1. Manage an array of tax responsibilities across partnership tax, self assessment, corporation tax for UK entities, VAT, employment and payroll taxes with some exposure to international tax and transfer pricing.
2. Prepare tax analysis and supporting schedules for year-end statutory accounts, including current and deferred tax calculations.
3. Support the team in managing the Firm's overall effective tax rate and forecasting tax cash payments.
4. Liaise with external tax advisers where required and manage associated deliverables.
5. International taxes; oversee the tax filing requirements for the international jurisdictions and assess the recoverability of those taxes in the UK.
6. Monitor of transfer pricing arrangements and any other group tax matters
7. Oversee the preparation of the UK VAT returns, ensuring appropriate VAT treatments are applied
8. Support with employment taxes, including PSA calculations, benefits in kind, PAYE and IR35.
9. Support the development and enhancement of internal tax processes, controls, and governance frameworks.
10. Provide tax advice on business initiatives and operational queries.
What you'll need to succeed
You will be a qualified tax professional, CTA, ACA, ACCA or equivalent and have a minimum of 5 years experience in a UK mixed tax environment. In-house tax experience would be a bonus. However, demonstrable experience in professional services is highly desirable. A strong understanding of UK partnership tax, VAT and employment taxes, experience of CCH and/or IRIS would be beneficial, along with strong Excel skills.
What you'll get in return
You will receive a salary dependent on experience up to £80,000 per annum. An excellent hybrid working policy of 1 day a week in the office, along with flexible working patterns are a leading benefit. An excellent and industry leading benefits package is available, including private medical cover, life assurance, income protection, critical illness, discounted gym membership and more (full list on application).
