VAT Associate Director in Reading

Job Description

Indirect Tax Associate Director

(hybrid, flexible on location)

NEW GROUND WON’T BREAK ITSELF.

In recent years, there has been a domestic and global trend of governments shifting emphasis from direct to indirect taxation. Globally, while corporation tax rates have generally decreased, VAT rates have risen.

What's more, businesses now face complex VAT systems, case law, guidance and legislation. Companies need to comply with thorny VAT rules when entering new markets, stretching out globally or joining international supply chains. Meanwhile, liabilities, errors and assessments can also attract interest and penalties.

At Grant Thornton, we help our clients overcome these challenges and take control of indirect tax.

We’re also always happy to talk about flexible working and consider reduced hours and job shares - we’ll support you to balance your work and life.
