Connect to your Industry

The Indirect Tax Team has grown rapidly over the last 5 years and to continue that growth needs high calibre additional resource at Associate Director level. Our team is regarded within the firm as one of the leading and most successful service lines, with a reputation for being proactive, entrepreneurial, successful and fun to work with.

We reward our employees on merit and not time served.

Working for us will present you with the opportunity to get involved with high profile clients and expand your horizons.

The Financial Services (“FS”) Indirect Tax team sits within the Indirect Tax group and focuses on the key industries of Banking Capital Markets, Investment Management, Insurance and Fintech.

Team members have deep cross-FS industry knowledge and a wealth of experience in providing tailored and practical advice to clients on the application of VAT and IPT rules in relation to complex transactions and arrangements.

Keeping abreast of all relevant Indirect Tax issues and developments that clients are most concerned with, the team also works closely with industry bodies as well as frequently dealing with HM Treasury and HM Revenue Customs, acting on behalf of clients and in the course of consultations. Consistent with its clients' operations, the work is often global in nature and provides the chance to broaden knowledge and interact with the Deloitte global network regularly. Members will expect to work with all other people in the team, often reporting direct to Partners.
