About the role
This is a practical indirect tax interview centred on VAT treatment, transaction data and compliance controls. The panel will assess how you establish the facts, reconcile records and give useful advice when the answer depends on current rules or incomplete information.
How to prepare
- Review how contract terms, supply facts and invoice data affect VAT analysis.
- Practise reconciling ledger balances, returns and transaction listings.
- Prepare an example where data analysis uncovered a tax coding or process issue.
- Think through how to separate urgent corrections from longer-term control improvements.
- Practise explaining when you would verify a point against official current guidance.
Common mistakes
- Giving a VAT answer before clarifying the supply and contract facts.
- Reviewing totals without tracing differences to transaction-level records.
- Treating a correction as complete without improving the underlying control.
- Presenting an uncertain interpretation as settled.
