About the Service Line Head

Ian Carpenter, VAT Partner:  “What is VAT?  I didn't know it at the time but my life intax started when I passed the civil service entrance exam. I merrily thought Iwould have a choice of the Foreign Office, the MOD or the Home Office only to betold I was joining HMRC and my options were VAT or Excise neither of which Ihad heard of at the time. I chose VAT but I to this day I can't really say why.  From that uncertainstart came a love of this tax; the balance between inputs and outputs, how itdirectly relates to business transactions and its myriad of case law. I found that I lovedtalking to the tax people that shared my passion and the business leaders thatdidn't but needed someone to help them understand the impact on theircommercial transactions.  After 10 enjoyableyears at HMRC I joined the profession and 12 years ago I joined what is nowRSM. Those 12 years (and counting) is the longest time I have spent anywhere inmy career. From the day I joined, RSM has felt different. It's much easier tofeel the difference than it is to describe it. It's the willingness of thepeople across the firm to share and collaborate to get the best answer for ourclients and our teams. Elsewhere I had felt these values were spoken about butsometimes the actions hadn't always reflected the words.  It is a true privilegeto lead and help grow my service line and to nurture people who joined us atthe start of their careers, helping them grow and find their own path bothprofessionally and personally. Some of my best moments have been conversationswith team members telling them they have been successful in achieving the nextstep in their career progression journey.  I also have a passion(but limited aptitude) for technology. In the next few years, theadministration of tax and our tax business will change significantly due to theincreased use of technology and automation by us, our clients and by taxauthorities around the world. This creates exciting opportunities to alleviatemundane tasks from our people and the ability to create new offerings andinsights for our clients. I love working with our brilliant people (who haveboth the passion and aptitude for technology) to make this the reality.  The answer to what isVAT therefore is a gateway to a rewarding career”
