Manager, Indirect Tax

Indirect taxes, particularly value-added tax (VAT), can be extremely complex and administratively burdensome, made even more so with the approach of Brexit. Our international network of experts manages all aspects of indirect tax to help clients avoid or mitigate costly mistakes, interest and penalties.

We support and guide clients through indirect tax changes or changes to businesses that impact indirect taxes. We advise on setting up businesses in the U.K. and across the EU together with the indirect tax implications of reorganisations and supply chain changes.

We help clients plan for Brexit by identifying risk areas, advising on additional compliance requirements and determining any necessary changes to their trade. We help clients take the critical first step of an indirect review of their supply chain to ensure a successful indirect tax Brexit business plan.

As a result of this breadth, along with A&M’s growth, we are expanding the tax practice rapidly at all levels and looking to recruit a Manager into the Indirect Tax team. The ideal candidate will be bright, entrepreneurial, action-orientated, and hands-on.

This is a real opportunity for progression for the right candidate.
