The Tax Experience

We take the time to ensure that you’re fully prepared for client engagements and can talk confidently about our complete Tax offering - from the more traditional Tax processes, through to the revolutionary technologies we can offer our clients. Our approach combines a market-leading innovative internal tax training programme with an accelerated professional qualifications pathway (where applicable) to allow you to apply your expertise directly to client issues early in your journey.

You’ll also use the latest technology to support your work. Whether that’s communicating to clients and their employees in another country, implementing new pay structures in line with tax rules or advising businesses on their corporate tax obligations.

You can choose to apply to our Tax teams through two routes; our core Tax programme which gives you the opportunity to rotate across our Direct and Indirect Tax teams in the first two years of your PwC journey, or through our Specialist Tax programmes where you’ll specialise from day one.

Core Tax

If you’re intrigued by law and what it means for our clients, a role in our core Tax teams could be right for you. You’ll also like to keep up-to-date with any tax-related changes, be systematic, have a good eye for detail and be passionate about helping clients come up with commercial and ethical solutions to their problems. And of course, you’ll be good with people too.

As part of our core Tax programme, you'll work across our Direct and Indirect Tax teams:

Direct Tax

In Direct Tax you’ll help clients manage their tax risk and comply with complex legislation. Our clients are wide ranging: from FTSE 100 companies and global organisations, to budding entrepreneurs, high-net worth individuals and family businesses.

Indirect Tax

As part of our Indirect Tax practice, you could be involved in everything from advising clients on the VAT implications of their UK activities, to a global project looking at the clients’ supply chain. Or considering the impact of case law developments, to advising on a merger or acquisition.

Joining as a graduate

Most of our Tax teams require you to study for a professional qualification to enhance your skills. Typically, this will be the ACA qualification, one of the world's most advanced learning programmes. Check individual vacancies and our Professional Qualifications page for more details on your exam pathway.

You’ll start your qualification almost immediately and take your first exams within weeks. Studying can be tough, but we provide full financial support and top-tier tuition. Our training programme is flexible, accommodating your learning style and pace.

Depending on your chosen Tax area, additional professional qualifications may be needed. Review the job description to understand the requirements. Most Tax programmes require or expect an undergraduate degree in any subject, though some specialist areas may have specific requirements.

Life in Tax

Early in your career you'll have the opportunity to gain a breadth of experience across some of our core tax specialisms - giving you the opportunity to gain invaluable knowledge and build your network. On our core Tax programme you’ll then become aligned to a particular part of our Tax practice in your third year.

This breadth of experience, along with an agile mindset, is an important part of working in Tax. You’ll learn from different clients and develop your transferable professional skills by working with a range of teams. We encourage you to bring your own strengths and experiences to each team you work with, and deliver ideas and suggestions to encourage collaboration.

As a predominantly office based team, this gives us the opportunity to build vital colleague relationships and inclusive environments. Across our Tax practice we champion Feel Good Friday - an initiative to highlight some of our peoples achievements that week. We often have the most office stability across PwC teams, meaning we’ve a real focus on everyday flexibility and working in tandem with peoples’ out of work commitments. We pride ourselves on this team culture across every office and our social events are testament to this.

The Tax function of the future

We’re developing agile tax professionals who combine deep expertise with advanced digital capabilities to support clients in a changing business world.

In the coming years, we will transform tax compliance, allowing future professionals to focus on data logic and enhance their analytical skills. This will deepen your knowledge of technical tax, client industries, and business processes, enabling smarter work through innovation and technology.
