The role @ Sumo

An opportunity has arisen for a brand new role as part of the Sumo Group (Sumo) Finance team, working closely with the business leadership, commercial and operational teams, and external advisors. The role will be responsible for Sumo’s Video Games Tax Relief income (VGTR) and Corporation tax obligations.

This role is more than just tax compliance. VGTR is one of the UK government’s Creative Industry tax reliefs, aimed at encouraging investment and job creation in the UK creative and digital sectors, and allows video game developers to claim a rebate against production costs. VGTR is an important component of Sumo’s commercial considerations and ensuring games qualify for the relief and that VGTR is structured correctly within development contracts is essential.

This role is a fantastic opportunity to be part of the Sumo family and make a key contribution to helping Sumo achieving its strategic goals.
