Description

Senior Indirect Tax Advisor - Transactions

We have a specialist Indirect tax team in London embedded in the International Tax and Transactions Services team, focused on Transactions, Post Deal Services and Restructuring.

The business has been growing strongly over the years and the team requires new talent to provide VAT assistance in relation to these focus areas.

The Opportunity

The role also extends to businesses in some distress needing advice and assistance, through to formal insolvency appointments where EY is responsible for managing the businesses through to their eventual sale or dissolution.

Our VAT transaction team works alongside a dedicated international tax and transaction tax team that support some of the largest Corporate and Private Equity businesses, providing an extensive range of business sector experiences.

We are looking for a highly motivated, ambitious, enthusiastic, flexible and hard-working tax professional who is looking for a challenging career move.

You must also be capable of prioritisation and handling multiple projects at once and have relevant VAT advisory experience.

Part of the role will be to manage compliance obligations, particularly where EY has been appointed over an insolvent company.

This entails working with our insolvency colleagues who provide source data that needs to be reported to HMRC via the VAT return, as well as often being the first contact when responding to HMRC's enquiries.

Modern tax regulations are highly complex and dynamic.

As a tax professional at Ernst & Young, you'll gain the VAT technical knowledge and industry experience you need to help clients manage their tax obligations effectively and enhance their financial performance.

In turn, we'll help you achieve your potential by giving you business advisory experience and professional development.

Our senior tax professionals will support you throughout your career, helping you to grow and become a leader in the tax profession.
