Indirect Tax Associate Apprenticeship - MHA

As an Indirect Tax Associate, you'll experience the power of collaboration as you work with diverse teams and a varied client portfolio. Start by learning the fundamentals, including:

• Supporting businesses with VAT registrations and ongoing VAT compliance obligations
• Assisting with the preparation and review of VAT returns to help clients meet filing requirements accurately and on time
• Helping clients understand the VAT implications of trading goods and services across the UK and internationally
• Supporting clients during HMRC VAT inspections, enquiries and compliance checks
• Assisting with import, export and customs-related tax matters, helping businesses navigate international trade requirements
• Studying towards your Professional Qualification (ATT Level 4 and CTA Level 7)

Upon completing your apprenticeship and achieving your ATT and CTA qualifications, you'll be ready to progress into a qualified Indirect Tax Advisor role. As you gain experience, you could advance to Senior Associate, Manager and beyond, specialising in VAT, customs duties or international tax advisory, with opportunities to develop your expertise and build a long-term career at MHA.
