Tax Jobs
Are you passionate about driving innovation and navigating complexity?
In a rapidly evolving global regulatory landscape, you can play a crucial role in providing clarity and guidance.
As tax professionals, we empower our clients to make well informed business decisions in the face of increasingly complex tax environments. Join us and help ensure that they are well placed to address any changes to tax regulations and offer support in transformations and readiness for the future.
Priority open positions:
Much more than “crunching numbers”
We view tax work as an opportunity for innovation and creativity. We do not shy away from complexity; instead, we embrace legislative and technological changes, leveraging them to better connect with our clients. We confidently take responsibility for providing insights that companies rely on to make strategic decisions. However, a career in tax encompasses much more than just regulatory changes and numbers.
Our Tax specialists easily understand and interpret intricate regulations; always finding the right words to support clients with anything from rulings to reports, as well as simplifying complex issues for effective communication. They also serve as intermediaries between authorities and clients, skillfully negotiating the optimal outcome in accordance with the law.
We actively participate in policy development and advocacy, partnering with policymakers and other stakeholders to shape tax policy at local, national, and international levels. This can involve conducting research and analysis, drafting policy proposals or recommendations, and advocating for amendments to tax laws and regulations that would benefit clients and the broader business community.
Find an area that excites you
At Deloitte, the career path for Tax specialists can have either a broader nature or a more specialised focus. A job in one of our Tax teams offers you the opportunity to grow every day, together with your clients.
Within Global Employer Services, you can help our clients successfully manage local and global workforce challenges. From tax and social security, to immigration, payroll or technology advice. You will support with compliance services for assignees, remote workers and business travellers on behalf of international companies, manage (global) engagements and develop global policies and processes to help your clients optimise their workforce, talent and mobility agendas.
As part of our Business Tax team, be it in International Tax or M&A Tax, or as a specialist in – for example – transfer pricing or VAT, you support clients with reorganisations, preparing tax rulings, due diligence and tax structuring papers. You will also be working in tax compliance, where it’s all about review, revision, and disputes – for example, preparing and reviewing tax returns, invoices and assessments, disputing tax decisions and dealing with tax authorities on behalf of our clients.
Whilst you will have the opportunity to specialise in your field, you will also work alongside a global network of Deloitte Tax professionals in other countries. This network provides valuable support and resources, helping you to continue to develop professionally, enhance your expertise and keep you informed about the latest tax advancements.
“Working at Deloitte means working with great colleagues who support each other.”

Working as a tax consultant at Deloitte I encounter endless learning opportunities. The diverse clients and projects I work on and the constant evolution of tax laws make my job exciting and challenging. Most importantly, the flat hierarchy, the great team spirit and sense of camaraderie among my colleagues make coming to work a joy. We have each other’s backs and have a good laugh, which creates a positive and fun work environment.
Furthermore, the flexibility offered by Deloitte allows me to balance my work and personal life which is essential for me to perform at my best. The understanding of my private situation and the efforts made by the company to accommodate my part-time work schedule make me feel valued and appreciated. These perks all contribute to a fulfilling work experience for me.
Anna Boehringer
Senior Consultant, GES Swiss Tax
I believe that with my daily work I make a real impact for our clients by helping them in their daily tax business to comply with the legal requirements and by supporting them with complex questions and projects. Every day is different from the one before and the variety of interesting projects, topics and clients makes my job exciting. For me it is also important that I can share my passion with others and always support my colleagues whenever necessary. I think what makes working at Deloitte different is the people you work with – working at Deloitte means working with great colleagues who support each other.
Deborah Taranto
Senior Manager, Tax & Legal
Through assisting corporate clients with Swiss tax matters and offering holistic tax solutions to private clients, me and my team are assisting different Swiss authorities in maintaining a competitive environment and support economic growth. I appreciate the hands-on working atmosphere at Deloitte and the flat hierarchy, which allows me to contribute ideas and opinions early on in my career. The team may push you to your limit by letting you face challenges but they’re always there to help. This enables me to grow into new roles and improve my social and leadership skills as well as to excel in previously unfamiliar areas of tax law. And: There is always time to have fun with my colleagues outside of work.
Loris Lipp
Senior Manager, Corporate Tax
I joined Deloitte Switzerland as a trainee in 2019, knowing I had tremendous professional and personal development opportunities ahead within the fastest growing Global Employer Services (GES) practice in Switzerland. Being a project manager in mobility technology often requires taking complex requirements and translating them into manageable tasks, identifying and onboarding the right Subject Matter Experts (‘SMEs’), and ensuring that the execution of each task brings value to our clients, enabling our clients’ Global Mobility functions to make a greater impact within their organisations. I am passionate about working within mobility technology as no two clients have the same challenges, which means my working time is varied and we get to daily develop unique solutions, ultimately delivering greater value to our clients and allowing us to constantly develop as professionals.
Hannah Hine
Senior Consultant
I joined Deloitte after completing my studies in Lausanne and during this time I have learned a lot, especially about the importance of team spirit. We have a very friendly team dynamic, and people always allow time for knowledge sharing and are very understanding when questions arise. At Deloitte everybody’s contribution matters and is valued. I have also had the opportunity to follow up with certain clients to begin building a relationship of trust. This has been very rewarding professionally.
