Tax Consultant - Employment Tax & Worker Status
Salary: £40,000 - £60,000
Location: Fully Remote (Offices based in Milton Keynes)
Robert Walters is partnering a growing specialist tax consultancy to recruit a Tax Consultant to join its expanding team.
Although the business has offices in Milton Keynes, this is a fully remote opportunity, offering genuine flexibility and the chance to work alongside a knowledgeable team of specialists from wherever you are based.
This is not a general tax advisory or compliance position. The role focuses specifically on employment tax, worker status and labour supply chain consultancy, advising businesses on complex and often challenging issues surrounding how workers are engaged, classified and paid.
You will work directly with a diverse commercial client base, providing specialist advice on employment status, IR35, CIS, umbrella companies, labour supply chains and associated HMRC compliance matters.
The position offers considerable variety, autonomy and the opportunity to develop a recognised specialism within an increasingly important area of UK taxation. You will also gain exposure to HMRC investigations, contentious matters and tribunal work as your experience develops.
The business genuinely invests in its people. Professional development is encouraged and supported, with funding available for relevant qualifications such as CTA and LLM. Benefits are also tailored to the individual, taking into consideration what matters most to you and your personal circumstances, rather than offering a one-size-fits-all package.
Key Responsibilities
- Provide specialist employment tax and worker-status advice to a diverse portfolio of commercial clients.
- Review contracts and working arrangements in relation to employment status, IR35 and off-payroll working rules.
- Advise on CIS, labour supply chains, umbrella companies and recruitment-sector taxation.
- Undertake employment tax, supply-chain compliance and risk reviews.
- Support clients with HMRC enquiries, investigations and employment tax disputes.
- Research complex technical matters and prepare clear, commercially focused advice.
- Draft and review contractual documentation and technical correspondence.
- Work alongside accountants, legal professionals and other advisers to deliver practical solutions.
- Contribute to thought leadership through articles, seminars and webinars.
- Develop experience in contentious employment tax matters and Tax Tribunal representation.
About You
The business is keen to hear from candidates with experience in employment taxes, worker status or related areas of UK taxation.
You may be an established Employment Tax Consultant looking for a new challenge, or someone with a broader tax or legal background who has developed relevant experience and is looking to specialise further.

Candidates with a legal background and relevant employment tax experience are also encouraged to apply.
