continues to expand, with startups scaling rapidly across the United Kingdom.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As they grow, tax is becoming a core strategic function rather than a purely compliance-driven task. From managing <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gov.uk\/log-in-register-hmrc-online-services\">HMRC<\/a> interactions to preparing for investment or exit, tax now touches every part of the business.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yet despite this increasing importance, many startups and small businesses struggle to access the tech talent they need within tax. The skills gap is widening as regulatory change, digital reporting and international growth reshape expectations of the tax system.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At Brewer Morris, we see these challenges playing out across the market. Here are the key tax skills startups need and why they remain difficult to hire.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-startups-need-forward-looking-tax-expertise-nbsp\" class=\"wp-block-heading has-brand-1-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-184b897a4eb256df67bfc430d82bd304\">Startups need forward-looking tax expertise&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pearsonmay.co.uk\/resources\/blog\/tax-planning-for-startups\/\">Startups are moving beyond basic tax compliance.<\/a> While core tasks such as managing corporation tax returns, calculating tax provisions for year-end and quarterly reporting, and VAT compliance remain essential, businesses increasingly need forward-looking advice.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Growing companies must plan for:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Managing corporate tax exposure as revenues increase&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Structuring equity and incentive schemes for senior managers&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Supporting employment taxes for scaling teams&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Preparing for capital gains tax events and exit scenarios&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This requires tax managers who understand both technical tax law and the commercial implications of decisions. Many candidates have developed their careers in large organisations, where systems are established and risk is tightly controlled.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Moving into a startup requires a different mindset, contributing to the skills gap.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-the-impact-of-uk-compliance-and-regulation-nbsp\" class=\"wp-block-heading has-brand-1-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-dddc71f9e253eca218b79bc87fd25fc3\">The impact of UK compliance and regulation&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Startups must navigate HMRC requirements, changing tax rates and the ongoing rollout of Making Tax Digital, which is transforming how taxpayers interact with the system.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For scaling businesses, this creates pressure to bring expertise in-house earlier. Priorities include:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Maintaining accurate tax compliance&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Managing reporting across each tax year&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Avoiding unexpected tax bills&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Keeping pace with evolving tax law&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Professionals with up-to-date knowledge of income tax, corporate tax and emerging regulatory requirements are increasingly valuable.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-international-growth-creates-added-complexity-nbsp\" class=\"wp-block-heading has-brand-1-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-50dcc7bbf1ba74d83dc015a3c2fe5310\">International growth creates added complexity&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Many startups expand internationally early in their lifecycle which introduces further complexity, including:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Transfer pricing requirements&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Cross-border VAT obligations&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Local tax system variations&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Managing global taxpayers&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The challenge is not just technical knowledge, but finding individuals with the agility to operate in fast-moving environments. Larger organisations frequently attract this talent, leaving startups competing for a limited pool.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-tax-technology-and-automation-skills\" class=\"wp-block-heading has-brand-1-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-20f278e756ed9611c50365a461c1deac\">Tax technology and automation skills<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" id=\"h-tax-technology-and-automation-skills\">Technology continues to reshape the tax function. Automation and artificial intelligence are increasingly central to improving efficiency, reducing risk and supporting compliance.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Startups are looking for professionals who can:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Implement automation across reporting and compliance processes&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Work with financial systems and data&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Improve forecasting and visibility of tax liabilities&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Support digital transformation linked to Making Tax Digital&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" id=\"h-tax-technology-and-automation-skills\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.brewermorris.com\/career-advice\/why-soft-skills-are-as-important-as-hard-skills-in-tax\/\">These hybrid skillsets are still rare.<\/a> Candidates often bring strong technical skills or technology expertise, but not both. As a result, demand for tech-enabled tax talent continues to outstrip supply.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-vat-and-digital-business-models\" class=\"wp-block-heading has-brand-1-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-ae0ad3c2de98463e04f07cf085b07fd5\">VAT and digital business models<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" id=\"h-vat-and-digital-business-models\">\u00a0For tech startups, particularly in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.salesforce.com\/uk\/saas\/\">SaaS<\/a>, e-commerce and digital services, VAT remains one of the most complex areas of tax compliance.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Key challenges include:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Managing multiple <a href=\"https:\/\/europa.eu\/youreurope\/business\/taxation\/vat\/cross-border-vat\/index_en.htm\">VAT jurisdictions<\/a>\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Adapting to digital tax rules&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Handling platform reporting obligations&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Ensuring accurate cross-border transactions&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" id=\"h-vat-and-digital-business-models\">Errors can lead to significant financial risk and reputational damage. Because of this, VAT specialists with experience in automation remain in increasingly high demand.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-commercial-awareness-and-stakeholder-influence\" class=\"wp-block-heading has-brand-1-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-6e10a2584235e5ad8db2bbac485d7cd5\">Commercial awareness and stakeholder influence<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" id=\"h-commercial-awareness-and-stakeholder-influence\">Startups need tax professionals who can operate as business partners, not just technical specialists. This includes the ability to:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Explain tax implications to non-specialists&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Support board-level decision-making&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Work closely with founders and investors&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Align tax strategy with growth plans&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" id=\"h-commercial-awareness-and-stakeholder-influence\">For example, understanding how to maximise tax relief opportunities can directly impact cash flow and investment outcomes. Candidates who combine technical expertise with commercial awareness are highly sought after, but often drawn to larger organisations.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-employment-tax-considerations\" class=\"wp-block-heading has-brand-1-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-5c5b75389c7d2c235ed03c45608ad65c\">Employment tax considerations<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As startups scale, employment requirements become more complex. Key areas include:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Managing self-employed contractors and IR35&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Supporting employees with self-assessment obligations&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Advising on income tax and benefits&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Handling cross-border mobility&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gov.uk\/hmrc-did-not-act\">Mistakes can result in compliance issues with HMRC and unexpected costs.<\/a> This makes experience across both corporate and employment tax increasingly valuable.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-structural-pressures-on-the-talent-pipeline\" class=\"wp-block-heading has-brand-1-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-2f7e0136d576c0014937d74a91c198de\">Structural pressures on the talent pipeline<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The skills gap is not only driven by demand. Structural changes are also limiting the supply of tax professionals entering the market.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In recent years, several shifts within accountancy firms have reduced the flow of talent:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Reduced graduate intake following Covid, particularly over the last few years&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Increased outsourcing of tax work to other countries&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Greater adoption of artificial intelligence reducing entry-level roles&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This has narrowed the pipeline, particularly at junior and mid levels, and is starting to affect hiring across the board.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At the same time, tax is often benchmarked against broader finance roles when organisations set salaries. This creates additional challenges such as:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Tax roles are compared to general finance positions&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The specialist nature of tax is underestimated&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Salary expectations do not reflect demand&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We regularly see CFOs and finance leaders underestimate the premium required for tax expertise.
