In recent years, there has been a domestic and global trend of governments shifting emphasis from direct to indirect taxation. Globally, while corporation tax rates have generally decreased, VAT rates have risen. What's more, businesses now face complex VAT systems, case law, guidance and legislation. Companies need to comply with thorny VAT rules when entering new markets, stretching out globally or joining international supply chains. Meanwhile, liabilities, errors and assessments can also attract interest and penalties. Our clients vary in size and structure and range from FTSE 100 global groups to fast growing entrepreneurial owner managed businesses. We also work with clients across most sectors including consumer businesses, pharmaceutical, health care, financial services, insurance, not-for-profit, education, land and property.

Be adept at business writing, able to tailor your style depending on the recipient. You will understand complicated technical issues and be able to explain them to stakeholders who may have limited tax knowledge. Produce technical work which requires minimal review and conveys key points to clients and stakeholders. Review the work of other members of the team. Be compliant with the firm's risk management processes for clients starting from initial take on to completion of assignments. Take responsibility for financial hygiene including billing, gross margin, utilisation, WIP management. Knowing you're right for us Joining us as an Indirect Tax Associate Director or Manager the minimum criteria you'll need is experience of VAT / Indirect Taxes, perhaps from an advisory or in-house environment. You'd probably also hold a relevant tax qualification (CTA / ATT). It would be great if you had some of the following skills, but don't worry if you don't tick every box, we'll help you develop along the way. Experience of managing a large and varied portfolio of indirect / VAT tax clients. Excellent organisational and prioritisation skills required because you will be working with a number of different colleagues at any given time on work for a great many different clients and targets. Excellent inter-personal skills and be able to demonstrate that you are able to forge long standing business relationships. Comfortable when working as part of a mixed discipline team to take the lead and drive forward a project to its conclusion. Experience of advising on complex technical indirect tax matters across a range of VAT areas and sectors. Knowing we're right for you Embracing uniqueness, the culture at Grant Thornton thrives on the contributions of all our people, we never settle for what is easy, we look beyond to deliver the right thing, for everyone.

That's why we give you the freedom to bring your whole self to work and pursue your passions inside and outside of work. Beyond the job Life is more than work.

We currently operate a hybrid working model with two days in the office but there is flexibility around this. The impact you can make here will go far beyond your day job. From secondments, to fundraising for local charities, or investing in entrepreneurs in the developing world, you'll be giving back to society. It's that drive to do the right thing that runs through our every move, grounded in our firm's values - purposefully driven, actively curious and candid but kind.

In recent years, there has been a domestic and global trend of governments shifting emphasis from direct to indirect taxation. Globally, while corporation tax rates have generally decreased, VAT rates have risen. What's more, businesses now face complex VAT systems, case law, guidance and legislation. Companies need to comply with thorny VAT rules when entering new markets, stretching out globally or joining international supply chains.

Our clients vary in size and structure and range from FTSE 100 global groups to fast growing entrepreneurial owner managed businesses. We also work with clients across most sectors including consumer businesses, pharmaceutical, health care, financial services, insurance, not-for-profit, education, land and property.
