Corporate Center Job Reference : 199979BR City: London Job Type: Full Time Your role: Are you a VAT expert looking for a role where you can make a significant impact?The UK Head of VAT leads UBS's UK VAT team. Responsibilities span the provision of UK (and other EU) VAT advice and compliance with UK VAT obligations. Due to the material sums at stake, the role carries significant responsibilities and offers exciting opportunities to contribute positively to the "bottom line". Your team: The advisory work supports the full range of the group's business operations in the region, spanning the front line Business Divisions (Investment Bank, Global Wealth Management, Asset Management) and the supporting Corporate Center functions (including IT, legal, procurement, and operations). It combines "technical" advice on the meaning and application of the law with constructive recommendations on managing costs and controlling risks. The team reviews new and existing business activities, products or transactions to evaluate the VAT consequences and advises on the impact of changes in VAT law. It also advises in respect of corporate reorganisations and transactions. To be effective, an advisor must be able to understand the essential nature of the business activities concerned and communicate the tax consequences clearly to a lay audience. The role will often involve working with external advisors, particularly on non-UK matters. The compliance side involves ensuring that the group complies with its UK VAT obligations, filing accurate and timely UK VAT returns, ensuring payments are made and liabilities/assets are agreed with HM Revenue & Customs. The Head of VAT thus needs to maintain a constructive relationship with HMRC in relation to the administration of UBS's VAT position, including managing any VAT audits, negotiating and implementing partial exemption and recovery methodologies.
