What will my day be like in Direct Tax?

In Direct Tax we help clients fulfil their tax obligations, taking into account the prospect of change. We work with organisations and individuals to structure transactions and operations in a tax-effective manner, mitigate tax risk and comply effectively with tax laws. From day one you can be working on projects varying from tax compliance to advising on the tax-structuring and transfer-pricing implications of UK and international operations.
