These individuals help businesses navigate complex tax regulations and optimise their tax positions. In tax financial services at PwC, you will assist businesses in preparing and reviewing tax provisions, tax returns, and financial statements, confirming compliance with accounting standards and tax regulations.

Our Financial Services Tax Disputes team is a market leading practice that has been built to support Financial Services clients with their immediate tax dispute risk needs as well as their overall tax compliance and disputes strategy. The team has achieved double digit growth in the last few years with a strong existing pipeline of work. We offer an end-to-end disputes proposition to clients to help reduce the risk of disputes arising or to manage them through to a successful outcome.

Our work crosses all of the different taxes. The team’s integration into PwC’s FS tax business enables it to offer clients an FS specialist fully integrated tax disputes offering, covering all stages of the dispute from initial enquiry and investigation to final resolution either by agreement or through the courts.

Clients come to us because we understand their businesses; we have a market leading track record of achieving positive outcomes and we pride ourselves on giving clear strategic advice. Every potential dispute and client circumstance is different, what matters is our ability to flex how we resolve disputes together with our clients and their senior stakeholders. This includes advising and supporting clients across other settlement mechanisms such as ADR or Treaty resolution as well as our recognised expertise in tax litigation.

The breadth of the Financial Services client base within PwC means that the team has exposure to all types of issues and therefore no project is ever the same. Clients are offered a bespoke advisory service where the options for managing disputes depend on their own strategic aims and relationship with HMRC. A key difference is that our team frequently supports clients across multiple issues building in depth relationships of our own alongside our advisory colleagues.
