What is Tax One year Business Placement at KPMG?

Tax impacts our lives and society in more ways than you’d ever imagine. Our Tax experts are doing more than just advising individuals and businesses, they are making a meaningful difference to society, by helping to solve some of the biggest challenges facing the UK.

The scale and breadth of tax implications is wide-reaching, whilst evolving regulation means that this landscape is becoming increasingly complex. Our tax services span company-focused areas such as International Tax, Deal Advisory Tax, Transfer Pricing and Indirect Tax as well as people-focused services, including Private Client Advice, Employment Taxes and Global Mobility Services. We’re also helping to digitise the tax system – some of the world’s biggest tech companies choose KPMG’s Tax services, because of our tech solutions.

Our specialists work alongside clients to help them understand the intricacies of tax across the globe – from the energy sector, to retailers, banks and high-net worth individuals. They support clients in complying with relevant regulations so they can operate responsibly, sustainably and ethically. Everything we do is aligned with our own Tax Principles which commit us to acting with integrity at all times, giving quality advice, offering objectivity and independence, and ensuring we are fully transparent.

Bring your unique perspectives, experiences and ambition to our diverse community, and we’ll empower you to learn and progress. You’ll develop your relationship-building and commercial skills, as well as honing your specialist knowledge, giving you a solid grounding in business. We’ll give you the support you need to thrive and make your mark.

Training and Benefits

With the KPMG community by your side, you’ll get the work experience, technical training, business insight and personal development opportunities to equip you with many of the skill that you will need to kick-start a successful career after graduating from university. You’ll have access to an extensive programme of internal training, a competitive salary and a host of great benefits too.

Our firm’s hybrid working model balances the adaptability of working from home with the importance of collaborating and learning in our offices or at client sites. We trust our people to be where they need to be, with our colleagues working together in person as often as needed. You’ll be empowered by the technology that supports us to work flexibly across our collaborative office spaces.

As part of the Tax team, you will be building friendships and shared experiences, innovating, and learning together. KPMG is a place where you can be yourself and give your best - whoever you are and whatever your background. We look at more than just your academic results and will also consider your strengths, values and motivations. If you’re collaborative and good with people, that can be just as important as your ability to pick up key technical skills.
