A vacancy has arisen for a Tax Manager to join the UK GI Tax Department, which provides a comprehensive tax advisory, tax reporting and tax compliance service to the business, covering both direct and indirect taxes.
 
The department is built around four specialist teams each led by a senior manager, who in turn report to the Head of Tax and then to the Director of Tax. There are some 20 tax professionals employed in the department.
 
The role holder will report to a Senior Manager who will be a corporation tax specialist.

About The Role

You should be fully competent in all major aspects of corporation tax. Training will be provided where required on both Abacus tax software and the group’s financial accounting systems.
