Overview
Our Human Capital Tax team is one of the largest expatriate tax providers in the market. We have approximately 40 team members, primarily centred in London. We advise both companies and individual assignees with regard to tax, social security (NIC) and HR related policy issues affecting employees moving around the globe. Whilst the UK team is responsible for providing UK specific and general advice, we leverage and work very closely with colleagues in BDO’s international network, who provide local country advice.
A role within this team would give an opportunity to learn about all aspects of expatriate taxation, covering both domestic and international issues. Initially you would deal mainly with tax compliance matters and be part of the team responsible for the completion of personal tax returns. With experience there would be increased exposure to both client relationships and advisory matters.
Individuals within this team will study for the CTA qualification.
