Tax Advisor

Tax Advisors interpret UK tax law (HMRC, Finance Acts, EU and international tax) and advise clients on tax-efficient structures, compliance and disputes. Day-to-day work mixes tax research, technical writing (advice memoranda, tax computations), client meetings, HMRC correspondence and complex transaction structuring (M&A, restructuring, IPO).

What does a Tax Advisor do?

• Advise on UK corporation tax, personal tax, VAT and complex transactions
• Run tax planning, M&A tax structuring and HMRC dispute work
• Specialise into corporate tax, personal tax, indirect tax (VAT), or transfer pricing
• Work for Big 4, top 10 mid tier firms, specialist tax boutiques and FTSE 100 in house tax

Most UK Tax Advisors hold ATT (Association of Taxation Technicians) and CTA (Chartered Tax Adviser) qualifications.

Skills you'll need

• Sharp logical thinking and legal interpretation
• Attention to detail under regulatory pressure
• Ethical decision making (CTA / ATT codes)
