Depending on the size of the firm, clients range from smaller companies to large international businesses. Corporate tax compliance and ad hoc planning involves dealing with HM Revenue & Customs and assisting in investigations and compliance issues. Advisory work is also an interesting part of corporate tax, and involves identifying and realising planning opportunities, while promoting other services which can be of huge benefit to the client.

Is it for you?
To be successful you will need a high level of technical capability in audit or tax, a strong eye for detail, and the ability to plan and organise. An element of commercial acumen is useful in order to uncover and capitalise on tax planning opportunities for the client and your firm.

Career Prospects
Utilising the platform of a thorough understanding in all aspects of corporate tax compliance and tax planning, is an excellent path to the levels of director or partner within a firm. It also provides a sound base for moving into commerce and industry in an in-house position within a large or blue chip business.
