JOB DESCRIPTION

Core Tax
In Tax, you'll assist clients ranging from large organisations to budding entrepreneurs and high-net-worth individuals in managing tax risk, understanding obligations, and complying with complex legislation. Your work will encompass a variety of tasks, including multinational advisory projects, mergers and acquisitions advice, tax compliance, and researching business issues affecting clients' tax affairs.

You’ll engage with clients on critical business matters, such as interpreting developments in case law, understanding the implications of expanding into new territories, or introducing new products.

Your role may involve working on purely UK-based activities or participating in global projects, improving internal processes, or contributing to mergers and acquisitions.

Programme

During this three-day paid programme you’ll get an insight into what a career at PwC could look like, you’ll meet mentors and buddies who’ll represent the variety of opportunities available across PwC. You’ll meet some of our colleagues to hear about their own personal career journeys, as well as from some of our networks focussed on Inclusion and Diversity. Through interactive sessions the programme will help you to develop confidence in a business setting and encourage you to bring your whole self to the workplace. At PwC, we nurture an environment where our people can be the best they can be.

Our Advancing Social Mobility programme will be a 3-day paid programme taking place 14-16 April 2025. You will need to be in the UK to complete this programme.

What you'll do
Our Core Tax graduate programme offers a comprehensive experience by rotating across our Direct and Indirect Tax teams during your first two years at PwC. In your third year, you'll specialise in a specific area of our Tax practice.

**Direct Tax:**

In this team, you’ll help clients manage tax risk and navigate complex legislation. Our clients range from FTSE 100 companies and global organisations to budding entrepreneurs, high-net-worth individuals, and family businesses.

**Indirect Tax:**

In this practice, you could be involved in a variety of tasks, from advising on the VAT implications of UK activities to participating in global projects focused on supply chains. You may also consider the impact of case law developments or advise on mergers and acquisitions.

What you'll gain

By completing the programme, you'll have the opportunity to be considered for a Summer Internship 2026 role in the same location and business area.

Many of our summer interns go on to receive graduate role offers. Current graduates in this business area are studying to become Chartered Accountants with the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales (ICAEW) or the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Scotland (ICAS), although this may be subject to change in future years.
