**About the Group**

**Business and International Tax**

The aim of the Business and International Group (BIT) Group is to provide strategic oversight of business, environmental, transport, property, VAT, excise taxes and customs duties that together raise revenue of over £400 billion a year. The Group works closely with other government departments and is outwards facing towards key stakeholders, including business, industry, interest groups and international counterparts, and there are opportunities to be part of this engagement at all levels.

The work of the Group is vital to fund essential public services, while working with other Treasury Groups to support the Government’s wider agenda - including supporting business investment and economic growth, developing and negotiating new customs arrangements following the UK’s departure from the EU; levelling up opportunities across all parts of the United Kingdom; and delivering “Net Zero” carbon emissions by 2050. The Group’s high-profile portfolio make it a highly dynamic, flexible and interesting place to work.

**Personal Tax, Welfare and Pensions**

We work to build a tax and welfare system that supports the government’s goals of fiscal sustainability, economic growth, and fairness. We look after high-profile areas including personal taxes, labour markets, welfare, tax administration, pensions, tax avoidance, and savings. We also coordinate spending controls for HM Revenue & Customs, Department for Work and Pensions. The Group is responsible for over £400bn in tax receipts and £300bn in welfare spending, impacting the lives of millions of citizens across the UK.

Our work means that we are often at the centre of ministers’ decision making, and we play a significant part in the Budget and the Spending Review. We work closely with HMRC, DWP and Number 10, and with a wide variety of external stakeholders.

**Both Groups**

By joining one of these Groups, you will become part of a team that value and encourage the best in one another, whilst tackling some of the most pressing and interesting policy questions on the Government’s agenda

Each Group is committed to diversity and includes a wide range of backgrounds and specialisms. We proudly support a friendly and inclusive working environment with an active ‘Wellbeing Plan’ focussed on learning and belonging, to create a culture in which all individuals are valued.

Development is encouraged for all roles and the work will offer a range of opportunities to support this. such as supporting those that want to undertake tax qualifications or develop a career in other areas of HM Treasury. These roles are suitable for Hybrid Working with an expectation that staff are in the office at least half of the time.

**About the Job**

Great policy making is about understanding what needs to change, what problems need to be solved and supporting Ministers to arrive at the best s
