Job Description & Summary

At PwC, our people in tax services focus on providing advice and guidance to clients on tax planning, compliance, and strategy. These individuals help businesses navigate complex tax regulations and optimise their tax positions.

Those in tax compliance at PwC will focus on validating clients' compliance with tax laws and regulations. You will review and analyse financial data, prepare and file tax returns, and assist businesses in meeting their tax obligations while minimising risks of non-compliance.

Responsibilities

  • Tax Compliance - Ensure accurate and timely filing of all tax returns, including corporate income tax and other applicable taxes to the tax authorities. 

  • Tax Planning - Develop and implement tax strategies to optimize the company’s tax position, minimize tax liabilities, and manage risks. 

  • Advisory - Provide expert advice on tax implications for business transactions, mergers, acquisitions, and new business ventures. 

  • Reporting - Prepare and review tax provision calculations for financial statements and ensure proper accounting for all tax-related items. 

  • Regulatory Monitoring - Keep abreast of changes in tax laws and regulations and assess the impact on the company’s tax position. 

  • Collaboration - Work closely with internal stakeholders, including finance, legal, and business units, to ensure alignment on tax-related matters. 

Focused on relationships, you are building meaningful client connections, and learning how to manage and inspire others. Navigating increasingly complex situations, you are growing your personal brand, deepening technical expertise and awareness of your strengths. You are expected to anticipate the needs of your teams and clients, and to deliver quality. Embracing increased ambiguity, you are comfortable when the path forward isn’t clear, you ask questions, and you use these moments as opportunities to grow.

Examples of the skills, knowledge, and experiences you need to lead and deliver value at this level include but are not limited to:

  • Respond effectively to the diverse perspectives, needs, and feelings of others.

  • Use a broad range of tools, methodologies and techniques to generate new ideas and solve problems.

  • Use critical thinking to break down complex concepts.

  • Understand the broader objectives of your project or role and how your work fits into the overall strategy.

  • Develop a deeper understanding of the business context and how it is changing.

  • Use reflection to develop self awareness, enhance strengths and address development areas.

  • Interpret data to inform insights and recommendations.

  • Uphold and reinforce professional and technical standards (e.g. refer to specific PwC tax and audit guidance), the Firm's code of conduct, and independence requirements.

Requirements

  • Bachelor’s degree in Accounting or related field and/or professional qualification. 

  • 2-5 years of experience in corporate tax compliance, preferably within the Financial Services sector. 

  • Strong academic background.

  • Demonstrated commitment to continuous learning and professional development. 

  • Effective communication skills. 

  • Excellent team-working skills. 

  • Self-motivated with a strong sense of initiative. 

  • Good organizational and interpersonal skills. 

  • Awareness of potential risks and the ability to identify and address them effectively.
