- Strengthening tax controls, governance frameworks & documentation to reduce risk and improve consistency across multiple entities.
- Providing commercially focused tax advice that supports business decisions and identifies opportunities to improve tax efficiency.
- Leading on VAT advisory matters, exemptions, compliance requirements & VAT grouping arrangements.
- Overseeing property tax matters including SDLT checks, CIS application, capital allowances support & Option to Tax records.
- Supporting acquisitions by leading the internal tax workstream, reviewing risks, coordinating due diligence activity & integrating new entities into the compliance framework.
