In-House Overseas Tax - Assistant Manager (106351)

Base Location: UK Wide, with occasional visits to Watford

The KPMG In-house Tax function is a cornerstone of our UK business. Operating from 20 UK locations and sitting with KPMG Central Services, we do work that matters.

Within Central Services, we are part of a community of experts across a wide range of critical activities who help grow, run, and protect KPMG in the UK.

From HR and Learning, Finance, Procurement, Facilities, and Business Support, through to Risk and Legal, Corporate Affairs, and Sales and Marketing, our approach is focused on driving the improved performance of the firm, which we support with diligence and expertise.

KPMG is one of the world's largest and most respected consultancy businesses. We've supported the UK through times of war and peace, prosperity and recession, political and regulatory upheaval. We've proudly stood beside the institutions and businesses which make the UK what it is.

Why Join KPMG as an In-House Overseas Tax - Assistant Manager?

The role is within the Internal Partnership Tax Team of KPMG UK. The team is responsible for dealing with all tax matters relating to KPMG UK. This role involves data analysis, research, and advising on overseas tax and reporting requirements when KPMG UK colleagues travel/work overseas for business purposes or are authorized to work overseas for personal reasons.

What will you be doing?

• Review and respond to client teams on the tax implications of overseas working for specific client engagements via the firms’ risk and operating territory policy process. This includes a high-level assessment regarding overseas corporate tax, overseas employment tax, overseas indirect tax, and social security implications, and relaying this in a non-technical manner to colleagues.
• Liaise directly with specialists in the firm to ensure all overseas tax liabilities are considered and be able to discuss technical issues with the rest of the team.
• Regularly consult with non-tax colleagues (e.g., immigration, IT, and other parts of the business) to understand and mitigate non-tax risks associated with overseas travel.
• Assist with registration requirements with overseas tax and regulatory authorities as required.
• Prepare analysis and draft overseas corporate tax calculations to support the preparation of overseas tax returns, requiring strong Excel skills and data analysis ability.
• Deal with withholding tax queries from the business and liaise with finance teams and overseas contacts to provide documentation needed to mitigate the impact of withholding taxes.
• Assist in managing functional mailboxes used for communication on various matters such as queries on operating territory policy requirements, WHT, and travel approval.
• Research double tax treaties and liaise with overseas tax colleagues for advice if needed.
• Ensure related databases are kept up to date, monitored, and follow-up actions are taken as needed.
• Advise and update key stakeholders on changes in legislation and reporting requirements across different countries.
• Proactively develop strong relationships with internal stakeholders and overseas tax advisers within the KPMG network to facilitate knowledge sharing.

What will you need to do it?

• ATT qualification and/or experience in UK corporate or overseas tax compliance, with a willingness to develop technical knowledge in overseas taxes.
• Excellent organizational and communication skills.
• Ability to manage own workload.
• Respect for confidential information.
• Strong interpersonal skills to develop relationships with various stakeholders and work effectively in a team.
• The ability to quickly and accurately extract, assimilate, and analyze information.
• Strong oral and written communication skills.
• Proficiency with MS Office, especially Excel & SharePoint.
• Consultative approach towards employees.
• Commercial mindset for resolving issues and delivering services, including preparing reports.
