What does our tax team do?

Tax is a fact of life - it’s deducted from our wages, added to things we buy, paid by companies and individuals and rarely out of the news headlines these days. But a career in tax isn’t just about numbers. It’s about working with people, families, and businesses to really understand what they want to achieve and make sure tax doesn’t become an obstacle to their long-term goals. We advise individuals and companies from all sectors of business, helping them comply with the complex UK tax regime and, in many cases, the tax regime of several overseas territories.

Our national tax teams are split into four main teams offering distinct services to a range of clients. You will be working in one of the teams below:
**Corporate Tax**

Our corporate tax team is the largest part of our tax practice and advises a variety of clients, from start-ups to the largest multinationals.

Corporate tax covers a wide spectrum of services including private equity structuring, M&A, international issues such as Transfer Pricing, Tax Investigations and Risk, reliefs for innovation for our IP creators, and annual tax reporting. This team usually holds the key tax relationship with our business clients and works with a wide variety of other RSM departments including Corporate Finance, Restructuring Advisory, Audit, and Financial Reporting, as well as the other tax teams. We build relationships at boardroom level and help our team members at all levels to develop the wider business skills they need for a successful and fulfilling career.

**Private Client Services (Personal Tax)**

Our private client services tax team deal with a wide spectrum of clients including high net worth and ultra-high net worth individuals, entrepreneurial business owners, international clients, partnerships, and trusts. Building strong relationships and becoming the client’s trusted advisor is at the heart of everything we do in the private client services tax team.

We provide tax advice at every stage of our clients’ life cycle. This includes capital gains and inheritance tax advice, pensions planning, exit and succession planning, residential property tax, residence and domicile advice, tax investigations and advice on holding assets whether that be in a UK trust, offshore trust, partnership structure or personal investment company.

On a day-to-day basis, our team helps individuals, families and their businesses comply with the shifting requirements of the tax authorities and pay the right amount of tax. This includes helping private clients, trusts and partnerships complete their self-assessment tax returns. Dealing with our clients’ tax compliance gives us the ideal opportunity to build long lasting relationships and spot opportunities to offer further tax advice.
What can you expect?

At RSM, you’ll be a key member of our team from day one. Our internship programme allows you to experience working in the tax team alongside current trainees and experienced members of the firm. This hands-on early experience is invaluable as you take the next steps in your career. You’ll also benefit from on-the-job training from more senior members of the team and gain access to our internal training courses that will help you develop in the role.

The depth of services and clients you’ll be exposed to will help you kick-start your career. You could be working with a wide variety of organisations, including large listed financial institutions, national retail chains, and high-profile charities, as well as some of our international clients that operate throughout the UK and beyond.

**What we look for**

At RSM, you’ll be helping a large range of clients - from wealthy individuals to major multinationals - so it’s important that you’re adaptable. You’ll often need to explain co
