What does our tax team do?
Tax is a fact of life – it’s deducted from our wages, added to things we buy, paid by companies and rarely out of the news headlines these days. But a career in tax isn’t just about numbers. It’s about working with people and businesses to really understand what they want to achieve and make sure tax doesn’t become an obstacle to their long-term goals. In Employer Solutions we advise companies of all sizes and from many sectors of business with all aspects of tax related to their people. Whether its payroll and benefits, global workforce or remuneration and share schemes, we help organisations comply with the complex UK tax regime and also, in many cases for multinationals, the tax regime of several overseas territories.
Getting involved with compliance work will allow you to get to know your clients’ businesses well, and therefore we will expect you to spot opportunities for them to benefit from tax incentives or to avoid potentially costly pitfalls. Tax compliance and tax planning are an important part of all major corporate’s strategy and we can help them get this right.
As part of our work with employers, we also help individual employees and Directors from all backgrounds meet their tax reporting obligations both in the UK and overseas.

Alongside your technical training, you will attend internal developmental training courses to ensure you have the professional and personal skills to become a trusted Chartered Tax Advisor. As you come towards the end of your studies, you’ll have a deep understanding of employer solutions tax.
