Qualifications and Experience Required for Solvency II Tax Resource
The person should ideally be the equivalent of an experienced senior manager in a Big 4 Firm or have at least four years life tax experience in a UK Life Group which has at least one I-E company (ie, not a mutual, friendly society or life groups which only have life companies taxed on a trading basis).
Experience gained in professional practice should include sufficient knowledge of life tax reporting (ie through secondments to clients or audit). Experience in life tax advisory alone (e.g. advising on deals/tax planning) is unlikely to equip the person with the required skills needed for Solvency II tax.
