**Job summary**:
Large Business is responsible for HMRC’s compliance work with the largest and most complex business customers, businesses which account for some 40% of HMRC’s annual revenues.

This is an exciting and challenging time to be part of Large Business. The taxation of multinationals remains the focus of keen media and Parliamentary interest. We have implemented a package of new measures to increase large business tax compliance and transparency, including the legislative changes flowing from the OECD-led base erosion and profit shifting agenda.

This may be through an appeal received at the FTT or where there is a strong reason to believe a decision made will be appealed to the FTT. It will work closely with our LB Compliance Risk function consultants to identify a strategic need to prioritise a case or issue for litigation.

**Key responsibilities**
- Lead an organisation of approximately 30 people including direct line management in order discharge the role of the CCG case governance and LB litigation.
