One of the biggest growth areas in the commercial tax arena is companies looking to bring tax in-house for the first time.

Many factors can drive this decision from economics, increased activity through more complex regulation, continuity and convenience of an in-house resource through to increased control. Whatever the reason, many FTSE 250/350, AIM listed, or foreign multinationals setting up in the UK have looked to bring tax in-house for the first time over the last few years.


Undertaking a Greenfield role like this can bring many positives, including high level exposure (often at board level), increased decision making authority as well as the opportunity to get involved with a broad scope of both tax and non-tax issues. Should you wish to transfer out of tax in the future into a broader finance role then moving into a first in-house tax role could provide you with an ideal platform to do this.


With a successful track record of advising companies looking to bring tax in-house for the first time, Integral is now recognised as first port of call for many clients and candidates.
