What
Is A Career In Tax?
A career in tax has more possibilities
than you might first imagine!
The Government raises the money that it needs
to run our country both by taxing the money that individuals and
businesses earn and by taxing the goods and services that we buy.
In taking a holiday abroad, you will probably have paid VAT and
Insurance Premium Tax before you even leave the airport!
If you have a job, your employer will collect
tax from your salary before putting the balance in your bank account.
If you are self employed, then you will have to keep records to
work out your own tax (or perhaps use an adviser to do this for
you).
A multi national group of companies is taxed
differently on its activities around the world.
Some professionals will advise on policy
for our tax system, others will write the tax law. Someone else
will administer the collection of taxes for the government. Others
will act for businesses of all types who have to pay these taxes.
Marketing, IT, media and publishing all need tax specialists.
What ever your area of interest, a career
in tax has something to offer you.
