Corporate Tax Assistant Manager (Film and TV)

Corporate Tax Assistant Manager – Film and TV Department

London with Hybrid (2 days a week in office)

Salary up to £60,000

The Role

This is a unique and exciting opportunity to join the tax group handling the corporate tax aspects of the firm’s Film & TV (FTV) clients.

Our clients include major Hollywood studios, leading streaming networks, and numerous independent film and television production companies in the US and UK. We also collaborate with entities ancillary to film and television production, such as film financiers, visual effects and post-production houses, and other service providers. Additionally, we work with video game developers ranging from small independents to large multinational studios.

The Responsibilities

The position will be part of the FTV corporate tax group within the London tax department. This challenging and engaging client-facing role involves exposure to a diverse range of clients, often working to tight deadlines and addressing complex technical issues. Responsibilities include:

• Managing a portfolio of FTV corporate tax clients.
• Assisting with Tax Credit claims on Video Games, Films, and TV Productions.
• Advising on the operation of reliefs and structuring productions for maximum benefit.
• Involvement in other corporate tax aspects such as share schemes, valuations, R&D, and other advisory work.
• Working directly with partners in the tax and Film & TV teams.
• Opportunities to work with other clients within our tax team to broaden experience and enhance your portfolio.

The Team

The London tax department is divided into six tax groups: a corporate tax team, a VAT team, three personal tax groups, and a tax advisory group. The department comprises 12 tax partners and over 80 employees, most of whom are tax professionals.

The Film & TV group is a leading advisor in this sector, with a client list that includes some of the world’s largest and most successful Film, TV, Video Game, and Sports companies.

You

Experience with clients in the FTV sector is not essential but an interest in the industry is preferable. The successful candidate must have a proven track record of delivering high-quality client service and managing complex technical corporate tax work. A natural team player with a positive and enthusiastic attitude is essential.

Candidates should have a relevant professional qualification (ATT/CTA/ACA/ACCA) and previous experience in a corporate tax role, preferably in a Top 30 firm.
