We’re currently recruiting for a Product Taxes Manager to join us here at L&G. We’re offering a competitive base salary, great benefits and the opportunity to get involved with  interesting and varied work associated with Product taxes across the Group’s Retail Product offering. Whilst this primarily relates to Pensions, knowledge of ISAs, FATCA, CRS and other Product Taxes would also be helpful.

What you'll be doing:

• Supporting the Head of Product Taxes on tax business partnering/advice to the business on all business initiatives including advice on potential tax exposures and risks. This will include assisting and making recommendations to more senior staff within the business so that the business is able to meet its commitments and obligations. 
• Providing tax and technical support on matters relating to Product Tax compliance and reporting to both customers and HMRC.
• Providing subject matter tax expertise to support the technical input/sign-off to the Product, Operational and Marketing teams for projects and updates required in relation to new product launches and legislative changes. This will include ensuring that the business meets its Product tax obligations; including liaison with tax authorities, auditors and advisors as required (e.g. at Tax Year End) and ensuring appropriate processes, controls and investigations are carried out. 
• Assisting and supporting in the development and improvement of relevant Product tax systems and processes to deliver an efficient tax service to the business.
• Maintaining a good technical knowledge of relevant Product tax issues, monitoring relevant changes in legislation and assessing the impact of these to L&G and providing clear briefing for both tax and non-tax specialists (including providing advice, guidance, and tax recommendations to business managers).
• Identifying and communicating Product tax risks to relevant Risk teams and the business (where appropriate) in a way that is appropriate/understood by both tax and non-tax specialists.  
• Developing and maintaining an appropriate stakeholder network across the Group itself and externally, which will include liaising with key business contacts as well as relevant 3rd parties, industry bodies and advisors/consultants to ensure the smooth management, communication and resolution of Product tax issues.
• Maintaining Product Tax Risk Control Frameworks in order to understand the Product tax processes across the Annuities, Pensions and ISA businesses of the group, and to identify and introduce any necessary and desired changes.  Ensuring consistency across different business units where similar products are administered.
