Tax Consultant

What we do

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.

  • 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;
