Purpose of the role
This role will play a critical part in supporting the tax affairs of IAG Loyalty (including BA Holidays), a growing part of the Group. In addition to corporation tax, the role offers exposure to indirect taxes, while also playing a meaningful role in the operation and continuous improvement of the Group’s tax control framework.
The IAG Group Tax team provides tax compliance and advisory services across the group. It is a relatively small group of high-performing individuals working as a team, each an expert in their own field, focused on driving results and collaborating with internal and external stakeholders. The UK based team works closely with a team based in Poland, a tax team based in Spain and a tax manager in Ireland. The team is led by a Group Tax Director, based in the UK.
