What is KPMG’s Japan Practice in Tax?

As a growing number of companies operate in global markets, the demand for tax professionals with an international outlook has increased. KPMG’s global network of member firms is at the forefront of meeting this need. KPMG’s specialist Japan practice in Tax focuses on assisting our UK firm’s Japanese clients on the issues that could affect their European operations.

KPMG Tax Graduate Programmes

Combining hands-on client work and professional study, our Japan Practice in Tax programme is designed for ambitious graduates. As well as enjoying access to the same high-quality training and opportunities as our other Tax graduates, you’ll gain valuable international experience.

Based in London, you’ll be involved in a broad range of activity, operating a compliance programme involving personal tax returns, tax advice services for international assignees, liaising with other departments and offices in KPMG’s global network.

To join this programme, it is essential that you have Japanese language skills and appreciation of Japanese corporate culture.

Training and benefits

Over the three-year programme you’ll combine client delivery and study towards a professional qualification – the ACA, or CA equivalent in Scotland.

We offer a competitive salary and a host of great benefits too, including 25 days’ holiday, study leave and a day off on your birthday. What’s more, each year you can take up to six days of time off to take part in volunteering initiatives.

Our firm’s hybrid working model balances the flexibility of working from home with the importance of collaborating and learning in our offices or at client sites. We trust our people to be where they need to be, with our colleagues working together in person as often as needed. You’ll be empowered by the technology that supports us to work flexibly across our collaborative office spaces. 

Seeing the whole picture

As part of the Tax team, you will be building friendships and shared experiences, innovating and learning together. KPMG is a place where you can be yourself and give your best - whoever you are and whatever your degree background. We look at more than just your academic results and will also consider your strengths, values, and motivations.
