Senior Tax​/Assistant Tax Manager - Corporate Team

Senior / Assistant Manager (Corporate Tax) – Harrogate

We are looking for a Senior / Assistant Manager with recent corporate tax experience to join our client's Harrogate office.

We are looking for Senior's or Assist Manager's with recent corporate tax experience to join our client's fast-growing Harrogate team to provide direct support to the partners by managing the corporate tax affairs of an existing portfolio of primarily owner-managed business clients. The mix of work will be varied as the client base is across a full range of business sectors, including property, innovation, farming, financial services, sport & entertainment and not for profit.

In addition to the annual corporate tax compliance work, tax planning and advisory projects will arise as a matter of course across this diverse portfolio of clients. These will include areas such as group tax planning, property planning, capital allowances, R&D tax credits, s455 tax and transfer pricing.

The successful applicant will also work closely with the Director on stand‑alone tax advisory projects, including structuring acquisitions and disposals, share‑based incentives, transaction support and due diligence. Tax accounting will also be an essential part of the role.

The role would also include responsibility for the supervision/review of work undertaken by junior members within the team, including some staff responsibilities and work planning. The individual will in most cases report directly to the head of the corporate tax team and/or the client partner.

Ongoing training will be provided, with the opportunity for the individual to attend the firm’s annual tax conference and to attend both internal and external training sessions.

The role provides a good range of work for someone with a solid corporate tax background.

• The ideal candidate will be pro‑active and resilient. They will require recent practical experience in running a corporate tax portfolio and have a detailed up‑to‑date working knowledge of corporate taxation issues.
