  • Prepare and deliver ongoing VAT training/VAT updates to the IDT case team.
  • Continual development of the indirect tax process.
  • Liaise with internal stakeholders (IPs and senior local office team staff) to provide updates on case progression matters and assist more senior members of the IDT with planning for the delivery of new work.
  • Keep up to date with legislation and practical changes impacting VAT compliance.
  • Strong risk awareness, with the knowledge/confidence to escalate risk issues appropriately. Excellent communication and interpersonal skills, as you will be dealing with all kinds of internal and external stakeholders.

Skills and Experience

  • Strong UK VAT technical knowledge, including place of supply, time of supply, partial exemption, and compliance processes across a range of industries. Experience of non-UK indirect tax compliance processes is advantageous.
  • Experience in managing compliance in-house or managing a portfolio of clients/customers in practice/at HMRC.
