We are looking for a Tax Accountant to take ownership of the bridge between our statutory reporting and our management reporting, and to run our direct and indirect tax compliance cycle end to end.
This is a hands-on role suited to someone who enjoys detail and reconciliation work, but who also wants to understand *why* the numbers differ — and to explain those differences clearly to finance and non-finance stakeholders alike. You will work across multiple legal entities and sit at the point where local statutory requirements meet group reporting policy.
Indirect tax (VAT)
- Prepare, review and submit periodic VAT returns across [UK / EU / other] jurisdictions, ensuring accuracy and on-time filing
- Own supporting indirect tax filings including EC Sales Lists, Intrastat and any local equivalents
- Apply correct VAT treatment to cross-border transactions, reverse charge, place-of-supply and partial exemption calculations with support of EURA Head of tax.
- Maintain and reconcile VAT control accounts, and clear balances on a timely basis
- Ensure ongoing Making Tax Digital compliance and maintain the digital links audit trail
- Monitor changes in VAT legislation and assess the impact on the business
Direct tax and compliance
- Prepare corporation tax computations and supporting workings for review by [internal team / external advisors]
- Calculate current and deferred tax balances for statutory and group reporting purposes, including tax provisioning on a quarterly basis
- Maintain the UK cash tax monitoring (actual and forecast)
- Manage correspondence with tax authorities, including responses to queries, enquiries and audits with support of EURA Head of tax.
- Support transfer pricing documentation and intercompany recharge calculations
- Track filing and payment deadlines across all entities and maintain a compliance calendar
Process and improvement
- Maintain the UK tax compliance calendar and make sure filing deadlines are met
- Identify opportunities to automate and standardise recurring reconciliation and filing work
- Improve documentation of tax and reporting processes so that they are repeatable and auditable
- Partner with FP&A, Group Reporting and the wider business on the tax implications of new transactions, entities or markets together with EURA Head of tax.
