Transfer Pricing Adviser

Company Description
Entain's tax team is responsible for managing over £1.5bn in annual tax payments across more than 20 countries. We're not just a FTSE 100 business: in the UK alone, we're a Top 20 taxpayer and taxes account for a significant proportion of the group's cost base. Tax is a prominent function within the business and puts itself at the heart of everything we do.

As a Transfer Pricing Adviser at Entain you'll be able to broaden your technical skill set in Transfer Pricing and be at the forefront of helping us to manage both existing tax obligations as well as emerging obligations in the fast-developing and leading-edge world of the taxation of digital services all over the world.

You'll be working closely with people from across the business and around the world – from accountants to lawyers to marketing specialists and technology experts in the UK, Gibraltar, Malta, India and elsewhere. Understanding the business is critical to helping shape current and future plans for market growth and expansion.

Transfer Pricing continues to be increasingly critical to the business, so you will need to stay abreast of international developments including the evolving areas of taxation of digital businesses as the OECD's BEPS project continues to be implemented and you'll need to stay close to the business to ensure the tax strategy and commercial strategy continually align.
