Job description

With significant annual growth and ambitious plans for further expansion between now and the end of 2024, our team is home to one of the UK's leading Indirect Tax practices and an exciting place to be. Our expertise spans across the various indirect taxes in the UK - including VAT, Customs and Excise, Insurance Premium Tax and Environmental Taxes. We help clients to successfully manage their indirect tax compliance, adopt and apply new technology, and forge broader advisory relationships. It's varied and pioneering work, which helps businesses to anticipate and manage change. As part of this collaborative team, you'll use your expertise to do work that matters, helping to create opportunity for clients in a world of increasing complexity.

KPMG is part of a global network of firms offering Audit, Tax, Consulting, Deal Advisory, and Technology services. Through the talent of over 16,000 colleagues, we bring creativity and insight to our clients' most critical challenges.

With offices across the UK, we work with everyone from small start-ups and individuals to major multinationals, in virtually every industry imaginable. Our work is often complex, yet our vision is simple: to be the clear choice for our clients, for our people, and for the communities we work in.

KPMG has one of the leading Indirect Tax practices in the UK. We work as a national practice providing advice and support in all aspects of Indirect Tax (VAT, Customs Duty, Green taxes) to a broad range of business sectors including large multinationals, household name retailers, public sector organizations, and Financial services (banking, insurance, asset finance, asset management, and real estate clients).

The Indirect Tax practice is a fast-growing and dynamic business, currently with approximately 13 partners and 190 professional staff located across the UK. We support our portfolio of clients with a variety of Indirect tax issues. Within the teams, we have specialists in sectors such as Retail, Supply Chain, International Trade, alongside Public Sector and Financial services specialisms. We work closely with colleagues in Trade & Customs, Corporate, and Employment tax to deliver value to our clients.

The role in question is with the Financial Services (FS) Indirect tax team. The FS Indirect Tax practice currently services a broad range of clients, providing VAT and Insurance Premium Tax (IPT) services. As VAT and IPT are real-time, transactional taxes, we work closely with our clients, developing a deep understanding of their activities and business operations.

The team undertakes both compliance and advisory services. Over the last 12 months, the team has been successful in winning new, exciting projects, including working with some of the largest investment banks, insurers, asset managers, and fintechs. We continue to see strong demand from clients seeking indirect tax support.
