Who we are looking for

We are currently looking for Managers to join the Deals tax team. You will be called upon to play a key role in delivering quality tax advice on transactions.

The Team

The Deals Tax team works on a wide range of private equity, real estate and other transactions, advising both buyers and sellers on the tax implications of the transactions they undertake.

As the largest specialist team in the PwC worldwide M&A network with over 200 partners and staff, a good team spirit is the cornerstone of our success. With clients ranging from Private Equity Houses to Public Sector clients, the team has a truly global reach facilitating transactions across numerous different territories.

Working with the extensive M&A network and wider Tax and Deals businesses as well as leading Investment banks and Law firms, the team delivers commercial solutions and tax advice on complex and often high-profile deals.

Within the team there are sub-teams with specialisms in Funds, Management, Stamp Taxes Sale and Purchase Agreements, Transfer Pricing and Global Operating Model Advisory and VAT. We also work closely with the Deals and Transaction Services (TS) Teams, Capital Markets and Consulting teams at PwC.

Some of the services provided by the Deals Tax team include

  • Tax Structuring advice to help clients operate their business in the most tax efficient manner.
  • Tax Modelling to help our clients make informed economic decisions and shape their business strategy.

  • Working closely with other members of the team on a wide variety of deals.
