Who are Euro Garages?
EG Group is a leading global independent fuel station and convenience retail operator with operations at over 5,600 sites across Continental Europe, the United Kingdom, North America and Australia.
The Group has enjoyed significant growth, with 2019 revenues in excess of €18bn (surpassing €22bn including the full year impact of acquisitions). The Group provides fuel, convenience retail and food to go to consumers through partnerships with global brands including Starbucks, Subway, Spar, Greggs, KFC and Burger King.
What will my role look like?
As the business continues to expand and grow, so does the requirement for additional tax submissions across all territories. As a large multi-national business, we are subject to a high level of scrutiny from tax authorities. This has resulted in the need for an assistant in the tax team based in Blackburn, who can provide support to undertake some of the data-focused workload currently being prepared by the indirect tax manager.
With a business-wide focus on improving processes and internal systems, an additional tax team member is required so that existing compliance and financial reporting processes can be improved.
The tax team in Blackburn currently prepares, reviews and submits VAT returns in 8 European member states, as well as other statistical submissions such as Intrastat and EC Sales Lists.
As an assistant in the tax team you will be responsible for working with the indirect tax manager to provide assistance with the day-to-day VAT affairs of the business. The role does not require tax technical qualifications, but a knowledge of general accounting principles and experience of SAP or similar is essential. The role will offer development of tax knowledge and experience, so an interest in tax is desirable.
What would my main responsibilities be?
* Provide assistance to the tax team in the UK and Europe
* Running reports in SAP
* Using SAP/Excel to search for relevant data
* Collaborate with finance teams in the UK and Europe to provide details on accounting processes and transactions
* Build and maintain relationships with key finance personnel across the business
* Provide assistance in completing VAT returns, EC Sales Lists and Intrastat returns across Europe
* Assist in VAT audits
* Provide support with other related tax compliance duties
