Job description

 

Join EY's Tax Policy team and work with clients to develop proposals for changes in tax policy that can be taken to government, both in the UK and overseas.

The opportunity

In the Tax Policy team we help clients and colleagues across the firm to manage the risks and maximise the opportunities that emerge from developments in UK and global tax policy.

Our approach involves developing technical policy options - covering economic issues, tax legislative concerns and fiscal costings.

We have an exciting opportunity for a high-quality entry-level post. 

Your key responsibilities

·  A range of administrative tasks including account administration
·  Carrying out research to support senior members of the team
·  Supporting with project management tasks

Skills and attribute for success
