Review VAT, GST and gambling tax returns for a variety of jurisdictions prepared by Indirect Tax Advisers and other finance colleagues, to ensure quality control, reduce the risk of incorrect filings, and help the business comply with its international indirect tax obligations.

Identify and implement opportunities to streamline and create more scalable indirect tax return processes to improve the efficiency of the indirect tax team and to comply with new data handling, retention and filing obligations (such as the “Making Tax Digital” requirements in the UK).
