The role also involves supervising and supporting one or two junior team members.

You will have the opportunity to showcase your existing experience and develop your expertise across income tax, capital taxes, CAT and trust matters, including share restructurings and reorganisations.

  • Tax residence and domicile, including non-domiciled and remittance basis issues.
  • CAT, estate planning and trust matters, including cross-border issues.
  • Capital gains tax planning and reliefs, including retirement relief, entrepreneur relief, and business relief.
  • Share restructurings and reorganisations, including the tax implications for individuals and owner-managed businesses.
  • Other personal tax and wealth planning matters as they arise.
• Client and Team management
  • Deal directly with clients and their solicitors, accountants, and other professional advisers.
  • Build and maintain strong working relationships with clients and other service providers.
  • Supervise, review and support one or two junior team members.
  • Contribute to the development of the private client team and share knowledge with colleagues.

• AITI/CTA qualified.
• Experience managing or assisting with a portfolio of personal income tax compliance clients.

Additional Requirements

• An interest in developing technical expertise across income tax, CAT, and CGT, with a broader understanding of other tax heads.
• Strong research, analytical and written communication skills.
