Job description

You will join a specialist compliance strategy team with lead responsibility for HMRC’s approach to compliance risks arising from the post 6 April 2025 residence based tax system, alongside wider complex international personal tax issues involving residence and offshore structures. The abolition of domicile and the remittance basis, and the introduction of new reliefs and provisions such as the Foreign Income and Gains FIG regime and the Temporary Repatriation Facility TRF, represent a major change to how personal tax operates in practice. A central focus of these roles is understanding how individuals and their advisors respond to this new framework, how those responses alter the compliance and risk landscape, and how HMRC should adapt its compliance strategy accordingly. The successful candidates will work as part of a wider team contributing to the development of HMRC’s compliance strategy, leading on defined aspects of the compliance portfolio, while collectively supporting broader strategic activity and shaping how HMRC identifies, prioritises and responds to risk. This is a highly specialist area and the tax affairs of this customer base are inherently complex, involving structures and transactions that cut across multiple jurisdictions. You will need to have a proven understanding across the main areas of Income Tax and Capital Gains Tax, with a good understanding of the former non domicile regime, new residence based tax system and offshore anti avoidance provisions. As part of our drive to increase compliance activity in the upstream space, you will be expected to use your knowledge and experience to engage with agents and representative bodies, including via webinars and external forums to increase education and understanding in this area and prevent non compliance from occurring in the first place. Collaboration with colleagues both within and outside Wealthy is key to ensuring we close the Wealthy tax gap. You will need to be comfortable working at pace with technical specialists, policy owners and legal professionals. The team has built successful working partnerships with colleagues across Customer Compliance Group including Risk & Intelligence Service and Fraud Investigation Service. You will have a key role to play in maintaining and developing these partnerships. This role does not include any direct line management.

Responsibilities

• Contribute to wider compliance strategy activity covering complex international personal tax risks, including those involving offshore structures and complex or high risk issues of UK tax residence.
• Lead educational activities to support customers into the post 6-April 2025 system and the transitional provisions, including the Temporary Repatriation Facility.

• The successful applicant will need to demonstrate relevant experience and effective delivery of the following Essential Criteria as well as their qualifications.
• Experience, in a compliance or advisory capacity, of high net worth former non-domiciled and deemed domiciled individuals in respect of their personal tax.
• Good understanding of how tax considerations interact with wider wealth planning arrangements and customer behaviour, including the use of offshore structures and internationally mobile arrangements.
• Strong technical knowledge of the former non-domiciled regime, the protections afforded to deemed domiciled individuals, the new residence-based system and the offshore anti-avoidance provisions.
