Job description

-------------------



Tax impacts our lives and society in more ways than you'd ever imagine. Our Tax experts are doing more than just advising individuals and businesses, they making a meaningful difference to society, by helping to solve some of the biggest challenges facing the UK.



The scale and breadth of tax implications is wide-reaching, whilst evolving regulation means that this landscape is becoming increasingly complex. Our tax services span company-focused areas such as International Tax, Deal Advisory Tax, Transfer Pricing and Indirect Tax as well as people-focused services, including Private Client Advice, Employment Taxes and Global Mobility Services. We're also helping to digitise the tax system - some of the world's biggest tech companies choose KPMG's Tax services, because of our tech solutions.



Our specialists work alongside clients to help them understand the intricacies of tax across the globe - from the energy sector, to retailers, banks and high-net worth individuals. They support clients in complying with relevant regulations so they can operate responsibly, sustainably and ethically. Everything we do is aligned with our own Tax Principles which commit us to acting with integrity at all times, giving quality advice, offering objectivity and independence, and ensuring we are fully transparent.



Our firm's hybrid working model balances the flexibility of working from home with the importance of collaborating and learning in offices or at client sites. We trust our people to be where our clients need them to be, with our client-facing colleagues working together in person as often as needed. You'll be empowered by the technology that supports us to work flexibly and our collaborative offices spaces, building friendships and shared experiences, innovating and learning together.



Bring your unique perspectives, experiences and ambition to our diverse community, and we'll empower you to learn and progress. You'll develop your relationship-building and commercial skills, as well as honing your specialist knowledge, giving you a solid grounding in business. We'll give you the support you need to thrive and make your mark.
