We're looking for globally-minded people
who can act and think beyond traditional boundaries, and who appreciate the
future challenges that tax legislation provide.
What is
tax?
Attitudes, policies and issues regarding
tax are constantly changing and tax has never been under so much scrutiny or at
the center of so much debate. Increasing globalization and information-sharing
means tax is now a hugely important international issue. The modern KPMG tax
professional keeps on top of these challenges to show our clients how to meet
compliance regulations.
KPMG supplies tax know-how to our
clients: we advise businesses on how taxation fits into the broader business
picture, and implement decisions that deliver real value. We gain an in-depth
understanding of our clients' needs and then provide insights to help them
optimize costs - things like where in the world they should base their business
to ensure they take advantage of the best tax incentives, and how they should
organize their internal structure and tax department - extremely important
factors which can help determine cost effectiveness.
What will
I do in Tax?
There are two main functions in Tax
services: tax advisory and tax compliance. Tax advisory frequently involves
working in a multi-disciplinary team and meeting Finance Directors and Senior
Managers on client visits. Tax compliance implies that you will take a more
specialized approach to analyzing clients' business and tax profiles, looking
for process improvements and collaborating with advisory colleagues. But both
functions have common principles - starting with an in-depth understanding of
the client and a detailed knowledge of the technical issues coupled with
communicating complex technical information in a clear and understandable
manner. A typical client relationship involves:
● Extensive preparation
and research into the business and client issues.
● Checking client tax
returns for accuracy and identifying potential savings.
● Helping clients by
checking they have all the information required by tax authorities.
● Organizing client files
and preparing initial advice Consulting and communicating with clients' senior
management and auditors.
● Mastering and
understanding the latest tax legislation and working practices.
● Closely monitoring the
client - tax authority relationship.
● Data analysis and
modeling to help clients understand the implications of different tax
solutions.
● Preparing and
presenting pitch proposals, client reports and recommendations.
You can
choose one of the following groups:
● International Corporate
Taxation.
● People Services and
International Executive Tax.
● Mergers&Acquisitions
(M&A).
● Tax Energy and Natural
Resources.
