For this role personality is key as the successful candidate will act a key point of contact for tax enquiries across the business, internally and externally. The Company Tax Accountant is likely to hold a professional qualification (CTA/ACA/ACCA/CIMA), and will need to have broad range of taxation knowledge gain in either practice or internal business tax.
