Hi, what a good question to start off. Everyone will be different but for me, I work on around 5/6 different clients every day from various tasks such as checking in on their tax return status to delivering a client update via a phone call. No two days are the same for me.

Hi Aqmar, the day to day can change massively based on so many different factors. We have a number of different teams within tax which all have slightly different workflows and so they day to day is slightly different. Can I ask whether you'll be joining as a grad or as a school leaver?

Hi there, I work in International Tax and my day to day changes all the time! I could be drafting analysis on client transactions, listening in on client calls, coordinating with different EY firms around the world where the structuring is cross border and others!

How do the UK&I and FS tax divisions differ in the day to day? Is the work the same with different clients? Do the divisions ever work with one another?

Hi Amelia. FS work solely with financial institutes like banks, hedge funds, brokers etc, UK&I work with everyone else. Sometimes FS and UK&I cross over yes.

Hi all, thanks for the replies! I am joining as a grad and have graduated in law and currently interning within insurance. With how vast tax is, what could be expected?

Tax is pretty vast yes - you could be placed in an Energy Team focusing on wind farms acquisitions, could be in VAT or People Advisory working alongside tax return prep teams - it is very varied and will depend which team you apply to

Within tax at EY, what could you say is the biggest challenge coming into 2024 and what can be reflected from this year within the industry?
