Senior Group Tax Manager - #2191357

Distinct are recruiting a Senior Group Tax Manager for a manufacturing group based in Leeds, with operations across Europe.

You’d be the person making sure the European side of the tax picture holds together, reporting to the Head of Tax.

What you’d own

European compliance, direct and indirect. You won’t be filing everything yourself. You’ll be making sure local teams and external advisers file the right things, on time, for the right reasons.

Tax accounting. Current and deferred tax, the reconciliations behind them, the disclosures, the cash tax forecasts, and the questions from the auditors.

Transfer pricing. Keeping the documentation current, and making sure the agreements describe what really happens between group companies.

International change. Pillar Two, and whatever comes after it.

Governance. SAO, the tax risk register and the controls behind it.

The part that makes it interesting

You’ll be the tax voice for the rest of the business. Treasury on funding and moving cash around the group. HR on payroll and people working across borders. Commercial and operations on imports, exports and new ventures.

The most valuable tax advice in a business like this is given before the decision, not after it. A big part of the job is making sure you’re asked early.

Who is this for

Someone qualified in tax, with a good number of years behind them since qualifying, from practice, industry or both.

You’ll have handled tax across several European countries, managed advisers and dealt with tax authorities directly.

Most of all, you can take a complicated tax point and turn it into something an operations manager can act on.
