We are a niche consultancy practice working with commercial property clients throughout the UK.
Due to continued growth within our Commercial Team, we are looking to add an experienced Capital Allowances Specialist. The successful candidate must have a minimum of 2 years of experience working within a tax organisation, and also have a good understanding of current tax legislation, in particular Capital Allowances.
This is a new business development role. We are seeking an experienced and driven individual with a proven track record in direct business development and relationship building. The ideal candidate will possess exceptional communication skills with a desire to not only hit, but exceed targets.
The current practice breaks down as follows:
We are the Property and Capital Allowance Experts. We excel in extracting maximum Capital Allowance value from various commercial properties. Our client portfolio includes a diverse range of commercial spaces, spanning from compact 1,000-square-foot offices above retail units to towering 30-story skyscrapers, hotel chains, shopping centres, and more. In the last year, STax have won a number of awards recognising our work and expertise in helping our clients claim Capital Allowances.
You will be responsible for:
- Championing Capital Allowance tax incentives – educate potential clients on the value, applicability, and use your knowledge and approach to help businesses evaluate their eligibility by understanding their business needs and requirements

A minimum of two days per month will be worked from our offices across the UK, as and when required, with the remainder of the time spent working remotely.
