About Lee Bradshaw

Having started my career as a Corporation Tax ("CT") Specialist at HMRC, I have had the opportunity to work a vast array of compliance related enquiries in relation to Small, Medium and Large enterprises. As a Grade 7 CT specialist, I found that my passion lay in dealing with complex and sometimes controversial tax affairs of UK and international businesses. I therefore transferred from HMRC's Mid-sized business department to the Large Business department whereby I took on the additional role of Customer Compliance Manager and was responsible for;­- Leading/working as part of a team, carrying out risk-based compliance checks, and establishing facts using an investigative approach with a view to bring issues to resolution using the full range of statutory powers;­- Interpreting complex legislation and holding persuasive discussions on relevant points of detail;­- Managing customer relationships; and­- Being a visible leader during HMRC's transition for building the future and acting as a coach/ mentor to other colleagues.Having established a solid foundation in CT and tax compliance, I realised that I was most passionate about multinational organisations and the ever-changing international landscape impacting them. Hence, the transition into Transfer Pricing.Working within the National Markets Transfer Pricing Team, I help clients through aspects of the transfer pricing lifecycle including designing, implementing, documenting, monitoring and defending intercompany pricing policies which align their global tax model with their business strategy. On a daily basis, I am responsible for;­- Building and maintaining tax relationships with both new and existing clients and providing high levels of client service- Managing the successful delivery of multiple tax projects through the demonstration of project management skills such as; planning, budgeting and prioritisation of work;­- Working with key stakeholders to identify the economically significant activities with a view to completing an economic analysis and determining the correct pricing of intra-group transactions; and­- Completing benchmarking searches to identify comparable companies/transactions and completing further comparability adjustments taking account of economic factors and applying well-reasoned arguments to the results in order to support pricing policies.
