Full job description

About the Role

We are seeking a proactive and analytically minded Tax Accountant to join our in‑house tax team in Sittingbourne. This is a broad and hands‑on role that supports the Tax Manager across UK Corporate Tax, VAT and transfer pricing activities, while working closely with general accounting and finance teams.

This position is ideal for a newly qualified or recently qualified accountant or tax professional (or qualification pending) looking to make their first move from practice into industry, or an early‑career in‑house professional seeking wider exposure.

You will play a key role in ensuring compliance, improving processes, and supporting commercially sound decision‑making across the business. We welcome candidates who are process‑driven, collaborative, curious, and open to using technology and AI‑enabled tools to drive efficiency and insight.

Key Responsibilities

Corporate Tax

Prepare, review and submit UK corporation tax computations and returns for assigned entities.
Prepare tax provisions, deferred tax calculations and associated disclosures for statutory accounts.
Support and manage HMRC enquiries, including analysis, drafting responses and coordination of information.
Assist with additional corporate tax requirements such as uncertain tax positions and emerging regulations.

VAT & Indirect Tax

Support VAT compliance activities, including VAT returns, audits and HMRC interaction.
Provide VAT guidance on transactions, routes to market and new business activities.
Identify VAT risks and opportunities, escalating matters as appropriate.

Advisory, Risk & Projects

Provide tax input on transactions, restructurings, integrations and operational changes.
Proactively identify tax risks and opportunities by developing a strong understanding of the business.
Support internal and external audits and tax‑related projects.

Reporting, Controls & Process Improvement

Ensure accuracy and completeness of tax data in line with internal controls and deadlines.
Coordinate with financial accounting teams on tax balances and disclosures.
Support transfer pricing documentation and internal tax reporting (e.g. quarter‑end and year‑end).
Identify and implement opportunities for process improvement, automation and efficiency, including use of systems and AI‑enabled tools.

Skills, Knowledge & Experience

Essential

Qualified or part‑qualified accountant/tax professional (ACA, ACCA, CTA, ATT or equivalent).
Good grounding in UK corporate tax, with some exposure to VAT.
Strong analytical skills with excellent attention to detail.
Ability to communicate technical tax matters clearly to non‑tax stakeholders.
Proactive mindset with a willingness to learn and adapt in a commercial, in‑house environment.

Desirable

Experience preparing corporate tax computations and returns.
Exposure to tax accounting, deferred tax or VAT compliance.
Experience with ERP systems (e.g. SAP) and advanced Excel reporting.
Familiarity with tax compliance or research tools (e.g. ONESOURCE / NextGen).

What We’re Looking For

A collaborative team player who works well with finance and wider business teams.
Process‑focused, organised and able to manage competing deadlines.
Curious, commercially aware and open to innovation, including AI and automation.
Professional, reliable and committed to high standards.

Development Opportunities

Broad exposure across UK corporate tax, VAT and in‑house tax operations.
Opportunities to develop advisory skills and work on business‑critical projects.
Structured technical training and ongoing professional development.
Experience within a large, complex multinational organisation with a global tax network.
