• Preparing half-year and year-end tax reporting under IFRS, drafting tax disclosures for statutory accounts, and coordinating with external auditors throughout the audit process.
• Designing and documenting efficient tax processes, partnering with the Senior Manager to implement improvements and leverage technology to enhance compliance and reporting activities.
• Building strong relationships with stakeholders and ensuring tax procedures are clearly communicated, understood, and consistently followed.
• Liaising with HMRC on routine, non-contentious tax matters and managing day-to-day correspondence.
• Overseeing the preparation and submission of UK R&D tax credit and capital allowances claims, ensuring accuracy and compliance with relevant legislation.
• Monitoring tax legislation and regulatory developments, identifying potential business impacts, supporting communication across the organisation, and assisting with Pillar Two tax calculations and compliance.
