Taxation Market Update and Salary Survey 2011/12
It has been a great year for tax professionals. Activity levels across all tax specialisms and locations reached record highs, driven by a concerted surge in confidence across all sectors and the desire of candidates at all levels to move jobs.
Sustained confidence in the corporate sector has resulted in a significant number of UK listed companies hiring staff to strengthen their tax functions, principally in compliance and reporting, transfer pricing and VAT. In a number of cases this has resulted in multiple hires.
This upswing has also seen many mid-sized corporates take tax in-house for the first time, a trent I have witnessed before at this point in the economic cycle.
Improved fortunes in the business world has fuelled high demand for quality hires in the professional services sector, with the Big 4 being a powerful force, backed up by the law firms and some specific Tier A firms.
