Transfer Pricing Adviser

Entain’s tax team is responsible for managing over £1.5bn in annual tax payments across more than 20 countries. We’re not just a FTSE 100 business: in the UK alone, we’re a Top 20 taxpayer and taxes account for a significant proportion of the group’s cost base. Tax is a prominent function within the business and puts itself at the heart of everything we do.

As a Transfer Pricing Adviser at Entain you’ll be able to broaden your technical skill set in Transfer Pricing and be at the forefront of helping us to manage both existing tax obligations as well as emerging obligations in the fast-developing and leading-edge world of the taxation of digital services all over the world.

You’ll be working closely with people from across the business and around the world – from accountants to lawyers to marketing specialists and technology experts in the UK, Gibraltar, Malta, India and elsewhere. Understanding the business is critical to helping shape current and future plans for market growth and expansion.

Transfer Pricing continues to be increasingly critical to the business, so you will  need to stay abreast of international developments including the evolving areas of taxation of digital businesses as the OECD’s BEPS project continues to be implemented and you’ll need to stay close to the business to ensure the tax strategy and commercial strategy continually align.

Working collaboratively with the Transfer Pricing Manager, other members of the International Tax Team and other key decision makers within the business, to support the design, development, promotion and delivery of a robust international tax strategy across the group.

What you'll do:

• Business partner with the International businesses across the US, Europe, Australia and Latin America to ensure compliance with local tax laws and group tax strategy, to monitor transfer pricing policies and intercompany arrangements, and to identify current and potential issues for the business.
• Assist the tax reporting team with tax reporting and forecasting for the international businesses. 
• Support on tax audits and litigation within the International businesses to appropriately support and defend the group’s tax position and to recommend a strategy for closure of outstanding issues.
• Proactively support appropriate strategies to manage and optimise the group’s tax position, which are compliant with the Group Tax Strategy and with the KPIs of the tax team.
• Assist with the approval and implementation of such strategies, including co-ordinating and clear communication with key decision makers and stakeholders, relevant functions within the business and external advisers.
• Maintain a current knowledge of international tax developments and proactively disseminate the impact of proposed changes to relevant stakeholders. 
• Assist with modelling the tax impact of proposed legislative changes and proposals and implementation of mitigating solutions compliant with the Group Tax Strategy.
• Work closely with external tax advisors and lawyers across multiple jurisdictions and maintain these relationships so that advice can be sought when required and as quickly and efficiently as possible.
• Liaise with relevant trade bodies, competitors and professional bodies to keep abreast of industry issues and opportunities, technical and case law developments.
• Provide training within the organisation on legislative changes and their impact on the group.
