We are seeking a Direct Tax Accountant to join our Tax and Treasury team at Sainsbury's. As a Direct Tax Accountant, you will support the delivery of accurate, timely and well-controlled Corporate Tax compliance and reporting.

Your day-to-day work will include preparing current and deferred tax information for the Annual Report and Accounts, subsidiary statutory accounts, forecasts and budgets. You will maintain reconciliations, records and audit evidence, support transfer pricing documentation and compliance, and help deliver relevant reporting requirements including Corporate Interest Restriction, Country-by-Country Reporting and Pillar Two.

You will also research technical issues, support HMRC and audit enquiries, coordinate data for business change or significant transactions, and improve Corporate Tax processes, controls, documentation, data quality and technology use.
