Looking for an opportunity to flex your disputes skills in a different way? Then this is it.
As part of our market leading service in innovation incentives, we provide consultancy services to our broad client base. This includes services such as enquiry support, providing proactive engagement with HMRC, negotiating and reaching settlements, mediation and ADR, as well as assisting with more complex tax disputes. Our unmatched technical expertise means we are well placed to support clients with further appeals and successfully defend decisions all the way to tribunal. We have supported landmark cases in our field and the work we do has a lasting impact on how innovation incentives are applied for our clients.
This is an exciting and unique opportunity to join this ambitious and fast growing team. You will work directly with large and complex clients, taking ownership of projects, developing bespoke advice and delivering commercial solutions. As well as enquiry support and dispute resolution, you’ll be making voluntary disclosures and negotiating penalty mitigation strategies on behalf of our clients. You will be managing your own portfolio, so strong project management skills are essential, along with a thorough understanding of HMRC’s powers, including enquiries, information requests, assessments and claims, appeals, and penalties.
The growth of our tax disputes team is an important part of our future landscape, and you have a real opportunity to identify new ways of taking our market leading service to a broader audience, winning new business opportunities and developing this service line. You’ll also play an important role in helping to mentor and develop others – sharing your knowledge and helping us to grow the next generation of ForrestBrowners.
We’re looking for a commercially minded tax investigations manager, corporate tax or VAT adviser with investigations experience, or a disputes resolution lawyer with experience of resolving disputes with tax authorities. You’ll be ATT or CTA qualified, but you don’t need to know all the specifics of R&D already – that’s something we can teach you. Just as important is a pro-active attitude, a commercial approach and a desire to work collaboratively. If you can balance the expertise to support the needs of our clients now, with the ability to spot opportunities for the future to increase our impact for innovative businesses in the UK, this is the role for you.
So, if you’re a self-starter looking to use your tax experience in a different environment, where your passion, ambition and excellence can be rewarded, then you could be exactly what we’re looking for. Get in touch to find out more.
