About this opportunity

This is an exciting opportunity to join the Operational Taxes team within Group Tax. As part of the team, you'll be joining a supportive and dynamic team that focuses on the tax requirements of the many Life & Pensions products we offer as a Group and how they impact both our customers and us.

The Operational Taxes team supports the Group by using deep technical knowledge of UK tax legislation and guidance to ensure that the legal obligations resulting from each of our offered products is followed. You’ll be surrounded by hardworking and dynamic people who will encourage you to develop and help you to achieve this.
 

Day to day you’ll be;

  • Managing the tax risk across the Group in respect of Life and Pensions matters.
  • Utilising external resources to monitor for legislative change before investigating the implications of such changes and communicating these to business colleagues.
  • Using your technical knowledge to provide SME tax advice to the business in a clear and simple to understand manner within appropriate timeframes.
  • Building and developing relationships with colleagues to ensure regulatory compliance.
  • Business partnering with different areas of the bank to understand more about what they do, the products they offer and the possible operational tax implications of their activity.
     

Whilst the key area of tax responsibility will be Life and Pensions, it would be beneficial to have a broad understanding of some other areas of Operational Taxes such as BBSI/OI/ISA reporting, FATCA/CRS or Withholding taxes in respect of overseas income received by LBG funds.
 

About us

We’re on an exciting journey to transform our Group and the way we’re shaping finance for good. We’re focusing on the future, investing in our technologies, workplaces, and colleagues to make our Group a great place for everyone. Including you.
 

What you’ll need

  • You'll have a proven mix of outstanding communication skills, influencing and working effectively with technical and non-technical audiences, asking intelligent questions and being able to share complex or difficult messages in a user-friendly manner to all levels of seniority.
  • Whilst a tax qualification is preferable, it is more important you have a deep knowledge of Life & Pension products/systems and the Group as a whole – as well as lots of enthusiasm.
  • No specialist IT knowledge is required, though you must be confident in using MS Outlook, Word and Excel.
  • You’ll be excited by the tax changes regarding Life & Pensions products and HMRC’s commitment to digitising.
     

About working for us

Our focus is to ensure we're inclusive every day, and build an organisation that reflects modern society and celebrates diversity in all its forms.

We want our people to feel that they belong and can be their best, regardless of

background, identity or culture.

We were one of the first major organisations to set goals on diversity in senior roles, create a menopause health package, and a dedicated Working with Cancer initiative.

And it’s why we especially welcome applications from under-represented groups.

We’re disability confident. So if you’d like reasonable adjustments to be made to our recruitment processes, just let us know.
 

We also offer a wide-ranging benefits package, which includes:

  • A generous pension contribution of up to 15%
  • An annual bonus award, subject to Group performance
  • Share schemes including free shares
  • Benefits you can adapt to your lifestyle, such as discounted shopping
  • 30 days’ holiday, with bank holidays on top
  • A range of wellbeing initiatives and generous parental leave policies
     

If you’re excited by the thought of becoming part of our team, get in touch. We’d love to hear from you.

At Lloyds Banking Group, we're driven by a clear purpose; to help Britain prosper. Across the Group, our colleagues are focused on making a difference to customers, businesses and communities. With us you'll have a key role to play in shaping the financial services of the future, whilst the scale and reach of our Group means you'll have many opportunities to learn, grow and develop.

We keep your data safe. So, we'll only ever ask you to provide confidential or sensitive information once you have formally been invited along to an interview or accepted a verbal offer to join us which is when we run our background checks.  We'll always explain what we need and why, with any request coming from a trusted Lloyds Banking Group person. 

We're focused on creating a values-led culture and are committed to building a workforce which reflects the diversity of the customers and communities we serve. Together we’re building a truly inclusive workplace where all of our colleagues have the opportunity to make a real difference.
