Purpose of the Role
TSL is creating a new senior finance role located at its Gerrards Cross head office. The TSL Group has grown organically in recent years incorporating new operating subsidiaries in each country to bid for new business. The role of Group International Tax Manager is being created to bring in‑house the technical expertise and tax compliance necessary for the Group to meet its international taxation obligations in every jurisdiction in which it operates. This role is ideal for a qualified tax professional who has experience of working for an international group of companies and is seeking a new challenging role providing a centre of excellence in corporation tax, transfer pricing, withholding tax and tax risk management. Experience of working within the construction and project management sectors will be an advantage but not a prerequisite.
As the Group International Tax Manager, you will take responsibility for corporation tax calculations, compliance and tax filings across all TSL subsidiaries and including the tax provisioning for group statutory reporting. The TSL group is subject to Pillar II BEPS compliance, country‑by‑country reporting and requirement to document and file the group’s transfer pricing policies which the successful candidate will be expected to meet all reporting deadlines.
This role is not limited to any one tax specialism. Instead the Group International Tax Manager will be an expert on 1‑2 areas of tax and able to support the group across all tax areas by assisting with research activities and working with our in‑country teams and partners to deliver accurate advice.
