– Managing registrations under the trust registration service and AEOI reporting.
The incoming Trusts Director will have a willingness to take on a varied workload encompassing all elements of the work undertaken by the team. Excellent communication and relationship management skills are essential, in addition to a deep understanding of the taxation of trusts.
