We are recruiting for an experienced International Indirect Tax Manager to join a fast-paced international business in Central London.


This is a hands-on position with a significant focus on international VAT and indirect tax relating to e-commerce and the cross-border movement of physical goods. We are particularly interested in candidates who have operated within a consumer goods, retail or e-commerce environment and understand the practical tax implications of selling products internationally.


The Role
You will take responsibility for day-to-day UK and international tax matters, with a particular emphasis on indirect tax.


Key responsibilities will include:
*Managing UK, EU and international VAT compliance
*Managing multi-country EU VAT registrations and reporting requirements
*Working with OSS and IOSS regimes
*Managing VAT implications of cross-border e-commerce transactions
*Understanding and applying marketplace facilitator rules
*Supporting the movement of physical goods across international borders
*Managing indirect tax considerations around imports, customs classifications and duties
*Working with external compliance partners across multiple jurisdictions
*Preparing and submitting UK VAT returns
*Working closely with international Tax and Finance teams
*Identifying tax risks and opportunities associated with international commercial activity
*Supporting wider corporation tax, tax accounting and compliance requirements
*Working with external auditors and advisors
*Improving tax controls, processes and procedures


The wider remit also includes UK tax compliance, tax accounting, overseas tax risk and supporting the business on commercial decisions.


About You
*Significant indirect tax/VAT experience within an international environment
*Hands-on consumer goods, retail or e-commerce VAT experience is highly important
*Strong practical understanding of the cross-border movement of physical products
*Experience with OSS/IOSS
*Experience managing VAT registrations across multiple EU jurisdictions
*Background working for a top 4 consultancy (PWC, Deloitte, KPMG, EY) very advantageous
*Knowledge of marketplace facilitator rules
*Experience with import duties and customs classification
*Strong understanding of UK and EU VAT
*Ideally currently working in-house, or with substantial hands-on in-house experience
*ACA, ACCA, CTA or equivalent qualification/experience
*Strong stakeholder-management and communication skills
*Comfortable working with international colleagues and external advisors
*Strong Excel and analytical skills
*Commercial, pragmatic and able to operate in a fast-moving environment


Candidates coming from a predominantly general VAT advisory background without significant hands-on experience of physical goods and cross-border e-commerce are unlikely to be the right fit.


What’s on Offer
*£90,000–£120,000 DOE
*Annual bonus
*Permanent, full-time position
*Central London office
*Broad international remit
*Significant ownership of international indirect tax matters
*Opportunity to work closely with senior international tax stakeholders


This is a fantastic opportunity for an experienced indirect tax professional who understands the operational realities of international e-commerce, VAT and the movement of physical goods. If interested, please apply today
