Tax Graduate Programme - Core Tax - Belfast (Autumn 2025)

Working in Tax you’ll help clients - from the largest organisations to budding entrepreneurs and high‑net‑worth individuals - manage their tax risk, understand their obligations and comply with complex legislation. You’ll tackle a broad range of work that includes multinational advisory projects, mergers and acquisitions advice, tax compliance and researching business issues that affect clients’ tax affairs.

You’ll work with clients on matters critical to their business including interpreting developments in case law, the implications of moving into new territories or introducing new products.

You could be involved in purely UK activities or global projects, working on more efficient internal processes or on a merger or acquisition.

What you'll do

Our Core Tax graduate programme will see you rotate across our Direct and Indirect Tax teams in the first two years of your PwC journey, before aligning to a particular part of our Tax practice in your third year. In Direct Tax you’ll help clients manage their tax risk and comply with complex legislation.

Our clients are wide ranging: from FTSE 100 companies and global organisations, to budding entrepreneurs, high-net worth individuals and family businesses. As part of our Indirect Tax practice, you could be involved in everything from advising clients on the VAT implications of their UK activities, to a global project looking at the clients’ supply chain. Or considering the impact of case law developments, to advising on a merger or acquisition.

What you'll gain

You'll spend the initial stage of your career learning about our business and developing essential skills. For many roles, this includes building your business, personal, and technical abilities by studying to become a Chartered Accountant with the Institute of Chartered Accountants Ireland.

What you'll need

You'll need to have achieved or be on track to pass an undergraduate degree or above in any subject. We determine whether you're on course to pass based on the grades you achieved in your last completed year of academic study.

When to apply

Once you have submitted your application you'll have seven days to complete the online test, this is the first stage of our recruitment process.

Applications for this role may close early should we receive a high volume of interest so we recommend prompt application to avoid disappointment.

Not eligible for sponsorship This role does not meet the criteria for skilled worker visa sponsorship. To be eligible to apply for this role you must hold your own right to work in the UK which you will need to maintain for the duration of your employment.
