Job Description

:

UK VAT Compliance – Tax Assistant

NEW GROUND WON’T BREAK ITSELF.

In recent years, there has been a domestic and global trend of governments shifting emphasis from direct to indirect taxation. Globally, while corporation tax rates have generally decreased, VAT rates have risen.

What's more, businesses now face complex VAT systems, case law, guidance and legislation. Companies need to comply with thorny VAT rules when entering new markets, stretching out globally or joining international supply chains. Meanwhile, liabilities, errors and assessments can also attract interest and penalties.

At Grant Thornton, we help our clients overcome these challenges and take control of indirect tax.

We’re also always happy to talk about flexible working and consider reduced hours and job shares - we’ll support you to balance your work and life.

A look into the role


As a Tax Assistant in our UK VAT Compliance team you will:

Support Grant Thornton’s VAT Compliance team in delivering consistent high quality tax compliance work across the national VAT / Indirect Tax client portfolio. You will be required to be compliant with the firm’s risk management processes for clients starting from initial take on to completion of assignments. Research and produce work that meets the firm’s commitment to quality, whilst also supporting the Managers, Directors and Partners. Support in the provision of relevant technical advice on a range of Indirect Tax matters, supporting your decisions with appropriate knowledge of legislation, case law, and technical analysis. Produce work which conveys key points to clients and stakeholders. Work with diverse range of clients from large corporates to OMBs and not-for-profit bodies.

Knowing you’re right for us

Joining us as a Tax Assistant the minimum criteria you’ll need are a positive attitude, an interest in tax compliance and a commitment to producing high quality work.
