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. You will also contribute technical insights to business tax compliance engagements.

• 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, investment structure planning, incentive applications, inbound/outbound investment advisory 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.

Growing as a strategic advisor, you leverage your influence, expertise, and network to deliver quality results. You motivate and coach others, coming together to solve complex problems. As you increase in autonomy, you apply sound judgment, recognising when to take action and when to escalate. You are expected to solve through complexity, ask thoughtful questions, and clearly communicate how things fit together.
