This role comprises both assisting and managing UK VAT compliance requirements and providing VAT advisory services across the full spectrum of financial services, dealing with investment banking issues, asset and fund management, wealth management, property, and procurement.
The nature of the role is mainly focussed in the UK, but also requires consideration of VAT across EMEA and further afield. We liaise frequently with Group Tax colleagues in other regions as well as dealing with back/middle/front office clients on a daily basis.
The successful candidate will be required to advise and assist front office and support staff in a wide range of matters including, reviewing corporate finance mandates, supporting/managing UK VAT projects, managing and agreeing VAT policy, working with business lines to discuss new products, attending client and vendor meetings, managing EU VAT positions, analysing VAT exemptions and producing evidence/arguments to support VAT treatment, and lobbying within industry bodies on EU Commission policies.
