Salary: c£35,000 DOE
Type: Fixed Term Contract 

Elevation Recruitment Group have a strong opportunity for someone looking to build a career in in-house tax within a growing international business.

This is a hands-on Tax Assistant role where you’ll gain exposure across VAT, corporation tax, and wider group tax compliance from day one, initially on a 6-9 month fixed term contract, to assist the business during a busy period of expansion. 

What’s on offer:

• Broad exposure across multiple tax areas, not a siloed role
• Support from an experienced Head of Tax
• Study support available for the right candidate
• Hybrid working arrangement
• Opportunity to develop within a growing international group

Working closely with the Head of Tax, you’ll support the day-to-day tax operations across a multi-entity, multi-jurisdiction group - ideal if you want broad exposure rather than being stuck in one narrow specialism.

The Tax Assistant will support across a range of tax areas, including:

• Preparation and submission of UK VAT returns, including reconciliations and MTD processes
• Supporting EU VAT compliance via external tax advisors across multiple jurisdictions
• Assisting with UK corporation tax computations and group reporting packs
• Supporting CIS compliance and subcontractor verification processes
• Helping maintain tax compliance calendars and deadlines across the group
• Assisting with transfer pricing documentation and intercompany records
• Dealing with HMRC correspondence and supporting responses where required
• Providing day-to-day tax support to the wider finance team

Key Skills & Experience required:

• Part-qualified or studying (ATT / ACA / ACCA / CTA), or a strong graduate with a real interest in tax
• Some exposure to VAT or corporate tax (study or work experience)
• Strong Excel skills and comfortable working with financial data
• High attention to detail and a structured approach to work

This is a compliance-heavy Tax Assistant role in a busy environment. It suits someone who wants to learn quickly, apply now or get in touch with Jess Gazda for more information.
