Sheffield, United Kingdom University of Sheffield Full time

Are you Interested in working for a world top 100 university and leading Sheffield employer?

We have an exciting opportunity to join the Tax Team in central finance at the University of Sheffield. The post will be based in Commercial Services and report to the VAT Manager.

The Tax team makes sure that the University accounts for and declares all taxes both in the UK and overseas. Tax legislation can be complex and at times quirky - questions such as,
"is it a cake or a biscuit?"
“what size are your marshmallows?”
"is your gingerbread man wearing chocolate trousers?" and
"is the item going to expire on the dockside or can it wait until tomorrow?"
are just a few examples of what we might ask. Our favourite response to many questions is "it depends"

Your role will help ensure the University’s tax compliance reporting requirements are met within the statutory deadlines and provide advice and guidance to staff within Professional Services and Academic Departments. The primary responsibility of this post is VAT and Corporation Tax compliance but you will cover all aspects of taxation from straight forward queries on transaction coding to contract reviews and advice on a wide range of projects from small refurbishments to major capital projects and investments, joint ventures, collaborations, and international projects.

You will be dealing with queries from our varied stakeholders, including staff placing Purchase Orders in departments, other Finance Colleagues and responding to queries from external suppliers such as shipping agents. There is a wide variety of other tax work across the team which will provide the post holder with a broad range of experience across VAT, Corporation Tax and payroll and overseas taxes.

Specialist tax knowledge or qualifications would be beneficial but are not essential as full training and support will be given.

Experience of reporting from SAP or similar systems is required along with the ability to interpret and manipulate data with attention to detail. Prior experience of the Higher Education or Research sector would be an advantage. Good interpersonal skills to be able to work collaboratively, communicate complex issues clearly and the ability to manage multiple work streams and deadlines are essential.

We are committed to exploring flexible working opportunities which benefit the individual and University.

We’re one of the best not-for-profit organisations to work for in the UK. The University’s Total Reward Package includes a competitive salary, a generous Pension Scheme and annual leave entitlement, as well as access to a range of learning and development courses to support your personal and professional development.

We build teams of people from different heritages and lifestyles from across the world, whose talent and contributions complement each other to greatest effect. We believe diversity in all its forms delivers greater impact through research, teaching and student experience.
