Location: Work from anywhere
Working in our Tax Team, you’ll help clients prepare and submit Research and Development (R&D) tax relief claims. You’ll gather financial and project information, calculate the available tax relief, prepare the supporting report and make sure the claim is included correctly in the company tax return and year-end accounts.
You’ll speak directly with clients to understand the projects behind their claim and answer their tax queries. You’ll also work closely with our payroll, accounts and wider tax teams to collect the information you need and keep each claim moving through to submission.
No day will be the same at Wow. Here are some of the highlights:
- Being the first port of call for all R&D questions from clients
- Managing your own workload of R&D claims, from the beginning through to submission with HMRC
- Writing your own R&D reports as well as reviewing reports written by colleagues
- Getting involved in interesting project work
- Advising clients on how they can improve their R&D systems and processes
