Direct Tax Lead

This newly created role will manage direct tax across the Softcat Group including working with advisors on the preparation of corporation tax returns across all regions (UK, APAC, US, Canada and the EU), half-year and full-year consolidated group tax reporting, transfer pricing, Country-by-Country (CbyC) reporting and Pillar 2 submissions. This role will be pivotal to developing and improving Softcat's direct tax processes, with assistance from advisors and the wider tax team. Softcat's direct tax submissions are mostly outsourced but this role would be instrumental in bringing the preparation of some returns in-house and establishing preparation processes for new returns as required by multinational expansion or in accordance with enacted legislation. In addition, there will be opportunity for ad-hoc project work and employment tax matters (such as PAYE Settlement Agreements) as desired.
