VAT Accountant

Are you a VAT specialist, but looking for something a bit different to your usual roles based within accountancy practice where you can really build a sustainable career that won’t see you moving from client to client and will instead allow you to build long standing relationships with colleagues?

This is a good role for someone who is looking for a varied and challenging role in VAT where you can play a key role in enabling the team to meet the organisational tax compliance obligations and you’d like the satisfaction of working in-house collaborating with colleagues and getting to enjoy the benefits of longer term working relationships.

What’s in it for you:

• Generous holiday entitlement of Annual Leave of more than 40 days paid holiday every year including bank holidays
• Work Life/Family Balance: A commitment to helping you achieve a work life balance, including flexible working opportunities; generous family leave packages, including maternity, paternity, adoption/surrogacy and parental/partner leave; and childcare voucher scheme;
• Skills Development: Access to professional, personal and leadership development.
• Reward and Recognition: Competitive pay structures and reward policies;
• Discounts and Expense Schemes: Save on shopping, public transport, cycling, healthcare and financial services.
• A salary of c£37,000 – 44,000 depending upon relevant experience

What you’ll be doing as VAT Accountant: 

• Prepare and submit UK VAT returns, overseas VAT/GST returns, and assist with annual Capital Goods Scheme adjustment.
• Ensure data integrity, advise on Import VAT and duty, implement system changes, and prepare corporation tax return.
• Manage Tax Helpdesk, maintain guidance, improve processes, deliver training, and maintain technical expertise.

What you’ll need to offer:
  
As an experienced tax professional you would bring ideally an accountancy and / or tax qualification, but candidates with strong experience in VAT and tax would also be of great interest.

You’ll have expertise in tax legislation and strong analytical abilities

Experience of working within a large complex organisation would also be helpful, but not essential.
