Dear professionals,

You would have observed – Tax is increasingly forming part of businesses’ boardroom agenda.  Our partners and colleagues in EY International Tax and Transaction Services (ITTS) invite professionals like yourselves to join our growing team and be part of an era of transformative tax journey. 

In EY International Tax and Transaction Services (ITTS), we provide flexible opportunities for you to hone single, dual or multi-disciplinary tax skillsets, be it corporate and international tax advisory, transaction tax advisory, business incentives advisory and/ or transfer pricing. 

Our diverse international and domestic client base span across industries and sectors, providing you with vast opportunities for exposure, for depth, across competencies, across geographies.  You will work with our ITTS partners and lead engagement project teams to help businesses as they go through various aspects of their life or growth cycle.  Establish. Expand. Transform. Exit.

You will be involved in:

2. Identifying market entry or exit tax issues and workarounds. Legal entity rationalization. Transactional or operating model design, review and implementation.  Tax governance and tax risk management.

3. Understanding development objectives and value drivers of businesses, e.g. headquarters functions, centres of excellence, manufacturing and distribution activities, finance and treasury operations, intangible property, incentives, etc, and helping them achieve sustainability with the alignment of their tax and operating model.  In addition, to also help strategise, plan and apply for research and development grants or deductions, incentives or other forms of government support, where required

4.
