VAT Manager - About the Job:
As a key member of a strong and commercially focused tax team, you will co-ordinate all VAT related issues in the Group. This will be a varied and exciting role involving the provision of advice on a wide range of projects including partial exemption reviews, property developments, joint ventures and disposals / acquisitions, as well as the preparation and / or review of the Group’s VAT returns.
The role will require that you work effectively within the tax team and with a variety of other stakeholders within and external to the Group including the finance teams at Group Support, our registered office in London, all our other Group companies, HMRC and external advisers. This will require applicants to be able to demonstrate confident and effective communication skills.
The Group continues to grow and diversify and consequently the applicant should expect to be working in a fast moving and challenging environment. You will be reporting the Head of Tax and will be working with a tax team consisting of two Assistant Tax Accountants and a Manager responsible for corporate and employment taxes.
This is a permanent role and we are looking for someone to start as soon as possible.
You will be required to complete a pre-employment questionnaire following an offer of employment.
VAT Manager - Who we’re looking for:
Do you consider yourself a positive, dynamic, energetic person?
Here at Places for People we are looking for someone who is as spirited as we are about delivering great customer service. It is our passionate approach that has made us one of the largest and most innovative property management companies in the UK.
You will be a dynamic and commercially focused VAT specialist who will relish the opportunity to develop your skills in a fast paced and challenging environment. The candidate will ideally be CTA qualified or be studying towards it and, it would be preferable if they have experience in the real estate and social housing sectors – although this is not essential.
Experience of other taxes, particularly SDLT and Corporate Tax would be beneficial.
