Here’s where you can find out about the best ways to start a career in tax – and some of the firms and organisations that can help get your career off to a great start.

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.
