A career in Tax

Why work in Tax?

We’re creating a new model for delivering tax services in a digital era. Join our team and you’ll enjoy all the benefits of a renowned training programme, in a firm that’s embracing how technology and the world around us are changing. Aside from diverse range of tax areas, our work is also about preparing clients and our people for the technological changes of the Fourth Industrial Revolution.

We aim to offer the best tax services in the market. Which means we need driven, analytical professionals, like you, who are willing to stay at the forefront of technology and the marketplace to create lasting impact for our clients. Our practice is growing; you’ll be part of a team that’s building world-class capabilities.

You will have client contact from the very start of your career. The area of Tax you join will determine the type of day-to-day work you do, but all our people use a combination of skills in serving their clients. You’ll gain deep insights into your clients’ industries, getting under the skin of their day-to-day operations not just their accounts.

An exciting career awaits, where you’ll learn every day and advise all kinds of organisations, from big business to start-ups to private individuals, helping them solve some of the most complex issues their business is ever likely to face

You’ll also join an award winning team - Deloitte Malta has been awarded ‘Malta Tax Firm of the Year’ at the ITR European Tax Awards on eight occasions – in 2010, 2011, 2014, 2015, 2017, 2018, 2019 and most recently in 2020. The ITR European Tax Awards are conferred by ITR on firms that demonstrate innovative client work within the European region.

Tax is made up of several teams including Business Tax, International Tax, Private, Global Employer Services and Indirect Tax.

In Business Tax, it’s our job to help our clients understand and manage tax demands. We combine cutting-edge technology with trusted business, tax and regulatory expertise to work with one of the most varied client bases in the market. On every aspect of their tax and legal affairs.

We use a widening array of technologically driven solutions to deliver the best possible advice to our clients.

From day one, you’ll work closely with clients - big and small - across all industries, on every aspect of their corporate tax and regulatory requirements. You’ll help them deal with the heightened focus on tax and the complexity of balancing legislation, case law and public perception. It’s not all about filing tax returns; in fact, in some areas you won’t be doing that at all. We also deliver large-scale, international projects, as the tax experts in a multidisciplinary team. You might develop an industry specialism too, but to start with you’ll have the opportunity to gain experience across the board.

Deloitte's International Tax professionals offer services that help multinational companies align their tax strategies to their business, through a wide variety of compliance and advisory services. Professionals in our international tax practices provide a comprehensive range of inbound and outbound tax services.

You will provide tax compliance and consulting services to multinational clients on the tax and regulatory implications of their international operations; and you will identify basic, and some complex, tax issues and provide tax analysis and recommendations for these entities and their affiliates.

Deloitte Private is recognised as the number one advisor to private businesses and family enterprises. At Deloitte Private, you’ll be working with a team that delivers an unparalleled combination of focus, breadth of advice, skill and attention.

Due to the varying nature of our private client’s needs, you will have the opportunity to learn the many facets of a private client’s business. You will be expected to build strong client relationships and understand our clients’ needs in order to provide exemplary professional services.

You'll be helping to create and implement bespoke solutions appropriate to clients’s size and objectives, providing tailored multi-disciplinary solutions for:

• Family businesses and entrepreneurs.
  
• Family offices and private investors.
  
• Small and medium-sized listed and unlisted companies.
  
• Private Equity focused on SMEs.
  
• Micro-enterprises.
   

In Global Employer Services we help businesses of all shapes and sizes with everything from setting the right pay structures to moving people across the globe. Our teams offer key services and advice to our clients from a global perspective. You could be supporting business strategies and ensuring they stay legally compliant, helping people move across borders, or even implementing payroll services. Whatever you choose, you can be sure it will be a great start to your career.

You’ll find that we’re constantly challenging ourselves to provide innovative and more efficient solutions. For example, by introducing machine learning software that can analyse thousands of lines of expenses and benefits data, we’ve saved our clients – and ourselves – from repetitive and time consuming processes.

Meaning you’re free from an early stage in your career to work on more value enhancing activities, wherever you join us.

Our clients come from every sector and every location, and include fully-listed companies, private family-owned businesses, private equity-backed companies and public sector organisations. And our support is unique to each one. As well as plenty of variety, this broad spectrum gives you opportunities to specialise in a favoured sector or field.

In short, we help companies to pay the correct amount of VAT, customs, global trade and other indirect taxes, whenever, wherever and however they do business.

As indirect tax impacts almost every business transaction, every pound our clients spend or make is an opportunity to help them achieve the right tax treatment, as well as drive forward their commercial aims. We’re also here to put things right when they go wrong, whether it’s supporting the mitigation of penalties, reclaiming overpaid VAT, or preventing a client’s goods being stopped at the border.

Clients also seek our advice before they launch a new product, set up a new service, or expand to a new country. And to help them navigate everything from Brexit to corporate reorganisations, to the latest big court case. Much of our work is rooted in law, which means researching legislation and case law, and relating it to clients, to find the most effective solutions for them.

Ours is a collaborative, developmental environment where you’ll build relationships, analyse problems and gain a deep knowledge of all aspects of your client’s business. This is about giving forward-looking, commercial advice, which has a real impact on their business. So, you’ll be interacting with clients from day one.

Everyone, at every level, in our practice is also encouraged to create and share innovative ideas, whether they’re tax technical, technological or smarter ways of working.

Who are we looking for?

At Deloitte, we have a unique culture, where thinkers are encouraged to thrive and where everyone, regardless of grade, is given the chance to improve the department. This common goal brings us all closer together.

At Deloitte, it’s our people who make us succeed. Your background, skills, interests and ideas are what make you succeed. We value you and everything you can bring to our business.

So, are you passionate about life? Are you a creative problem solver? Are you looking for an engaging fast-paced growth experience with a leading organisation focused on achieving the standard of excellence in the marketplace?
