The Role:
- Working closely with Partners, Directors and Managers across a broad tax practice, you will provide technical support on a wide range of UK corporate tax matters.
- Act as a recognised technical specialist within the firm, helping teams navigate complex legislation, emerging tax developments and challenging advisory assignments.
- Providing technical support and guidance to tax professionals across multiple service lines.
- Researching complex areas of tax legislation and interpreting their practical application.
- Preparing technical opinions, guidance notes and internal reports.
- Reviewing complex advisory reports and client deliverables.
- Supporting tax teams on significant transactions, restructures and planning projects.
- Monitoring changes in tax legislation, HMRC guidance and case law.
