Indirect Tax Consulting - Summer Vacation Scheme

Indirect Tax Advisory

Indirect Taxes are taxes charged on everyday transactional activities, and our team advises on how businesses should manage these. The most well-known Indirect Tax is VAT, but we also cover other transactional taxes including Insurance Premium Tax and Air Passenger Duty, amongst others.

Our Indirect Tax Advisory team help our clients manage their VAT and Indirect Tax positions – whether it is advising on multi-million-pound transactions, VAT on everyday retail products, or how we can help clients adopt tech to report VAT correctly on their income and expenditure. As well as being at the forefront of tax technology, Indirect Taxes involve an understanding of case law, so skillsets and experiences in our team are wide-ranging.

What kind of work will I do?

Indirect Taxes impact our clients throughout their supply chains and require us to have a detailed understanding of how their businesses work.

Within the Indirect Tax Advisory, your industry expertise will develop alongside your tax technical knowledge, enabling you to provide advice to clients that assists them to undertake their business. You will gain an understanding of client products, supply chains and processes/systems to enable you to advise them effectively. You will also work alongside Indirect Tax specialists in Technology areas, together with colleagues in other tax areas and across the wider Deloitte services.

Your work will range from compliance support, providing technical advice, support in disputes, advising on large transactions and other.

Development and Qualifications

We want our people to have worldclass practical experience coupled with the technical rigour and knowledge that comes from the right professional qualification.

We think the best experience is being immersed in client work, working alongside other team members, and learning the practical skills that will set you up for a successful career. That will be the initial focus whether you are a Graduate, an Industrial Placement or a BrightStart, supported by internal training and support from coaches, people leaders, and your team.

We think this is vital and will set you up for success when we further support your development with a professional qualification, recognising that different roles across our business align to different pathways. The specific qualification will depend on the area of specialism you join and may include joint or accelerated programmes leading to qualifications like Association of Taxation Technicians (ATT) and Charted Tax Adviser (CTA) as well as other more specialist routes focused on tax or technical expertise such as Tax Customs qualifications.

Working Arrangements

At Deloitte we recognise how important face-to-face interaction is for your development in a new role. We also understand that our people need flexibility, which is why we operate a hybrid system, with a combination of office and home working. If you’re in a client-facing role, you might be expected to attend client sites on certain days, while your meetings will be a mix of online and in-person events. Please note your final assessment and induction will also be in-person, to give you the opportunity to network and build relationships.

All our workspaces are accessible, however, if you require further flexibility due to a health condition or caring responsibilities, please discuss this with our team. You can find further information on our family friendly, flexible working here.

Important Information

• Students who perform well on our Summer Vacation Scheme may have the opportunity to convert into the corresponding Graduate role for the following year. However the Graduate conversion must be within the same team and location as the Summer placement. For this reason, we kindly ask that applicants only apply to our Manchester Summer Vacation Scheme, if they know they also wish to be considered for the corresponding, permanent, Full Time Graduate role in Manchester.
• We operate a strict one application per year policy across our Early Careers opportunities. We recommend only submitting an application for a role that you feel is right for you.
• If you are currently on a student visa and would require Skilled Worker sponsorship to join Deloitte after graduation, we’re unable to accept your application, as the salary for the Graduate conversion role in this location does not currently meet the minimum threshold required under the Immigration Rules for Skilled Worker visa sponsorship. Please apply instead for a Summer Vacation Scheme in London, Aberdeen, Bristol, Cambridge, Reading, Gatwick or Southampton, where available. In these locations, the Graduate conversion roles meet the relevant salary threshold, and we are able to sponsor Skilled Worker visas. You can only join our Summer Vacation Scheme if our dates coincide with your university summer vacation.
