This role is pivotal in anticipating legislative changes, minimizing risks, and supporting the overall business strategy. The Head of Employment Tax will also be involved in the analysis, submission, and management of the annual PAYE settlement agreement, as well as educating and advising stakeholders on employment tax risks and best practices. Strong leadership skills, a commitment to continuous improvement, and technical excellence in tax are essential for driving and supporting change within the organization.
