About the job
Tax Internship - your entry into a versatile field 80 - 100%About 750 employees work in the Tax Office of the Canton of Zurich and together at the Zurich Altstetten location ensure that taxes are assessed and collected correctly and uniformly. A task that involves more than one might expect.
How versatile this can be in everyday life is particularly evident in the Inheritance Department. Here you gain insight into an area associated with special life situations. It involves, among other things, inheritance and gift taxes as well as tax issues related to deaths.
This is exactly where your internship begins. You will not only look over the shoulders of our tax commissioners but will gradually become part of the team yourself. You will assist with assessments, appeals decisions, and other tax-related questions. This way, you develop a sense of what lies behind the numbers and how versatile the work in taxation really is. We are happy to incorporate your interests and strengths so that you gain insights that go far beyond theory.
The internship usually lasts one year and is aimed at Bachelor’s and Master’s graduates in law, business law, or business administration from universities and universities of applied sciences. If you have an interest in tax issues, very good German skills, and a good reputation (criminal record extract), you are exactly right with us.
And don’t worry: you don’t have to wait for the graduation ceremony to apply. A confirmation from your university that you have successfully passed the exams and the thesis is sufficient.
Application
If you feel addressed, we look forward to getting to know you. Please submit your application including documents (CV, transcript, criminal record extract) online. Use the online tool so that we can process your documents promptly.
