  • communicate key technical developments internally and more widely within the RSM network, by contributing to the preparation of written material for the weekly VAT update, regular internal Tax Technical Updates, ad-hoc Tax Practice Alerts when required, and other communications;
  • identify potential business development opportunities from case law and legislative developments and contribute to the preparation and review of clear and concise briefings, updates and other business development and delivery support materials for clients and targets, as required;
  • prepare and review VAT and other indirect tax content for the firm’s external marketing materials, publications and events (including Tax Voice, Budget commentary and similar marketing initiatives and events);
  • provide responses to client related VAT and indirect tax technical queries from the Tax Practice, ensuring discussions and advice given are recorded and shared as appropriate, and carry out occasional ad-hoc client work in support of local office VAT and indirect tax teams;
  • draft, edit, review and deliver materials for training and workshop day presentations, including face to face, online and other formats of training modules, webinars and tax counsel briefing meetings;
  • maintain, develop and share various tax technical information resources, including technical material for the firm’s external website and intranet, including the tax knowledge database;
  • provide technical input to the review of standard documents and other delivery materials and agree and record the firm’s operational policies on VAT and indirect tax matters in the firm’s Tax Operational Policies and Procedures manual;
  • contribute responses to consultations on VAT and indirect tax matters issued by government departments, intergovernmental organisations and other external bodies, attending meetings and calls with government officials and other organisations where appropriate;
