Tax

Every time you buy a packet of crisps, go to the cinema, download an app or get paid for your part-time job, some of your money gets paid to the Government in tax. And it gets spent on schools, the NHS and a host of other public services. But it’s not straightforward.

As individuals, we pay different rates of tax. So imagine how tricky it is as a business when you’re employing staff, making millions of pounds in profits or relocating to another country. And if you don’t get it right, there are penalties. That’s why it’s essential our clients understand their tax obligations and how to manage them effectively, ethically and within legislation.

You could work in the following teams:

• Corporate Tax
• Indirect Tax
• People and Organisation

From day one you'll start to build a promising career, specialising in the ever-changing field of tax.  Your responsibilities will include a range of tasks which will vary depending upon the area of Tax you join. However generally this will involve:

• technical research
• attending meetings with senior staff
• establishing and developing third party relationships such as with the Inland Revenue
• drafting client correspondence
• general office duties.

What you’ll gain

You'll enjoy plenty of practical, on-the-job training while studying for a professional qualification with the ATT (Association of Tax Technicians) as a core part of your apprenticeship.
