Are you looking for a varied, dynamic and high-profile role leading on key policy issues? If so, we’d love to hear from you!
About the Team
The Personal Tax team covers a very broad range of exciting policies that are important across the population. The size and influence of these policies means that they are always of interest to ministers, and the post holder will have the chance to work closely with seniors, Special Advisers, and ministers.
We play an active role in making sure that the Personal Tax, Welfare & Pensions group in HM Treasury has an inclusive, positive working environment. We are committed to ensuring a good work-life balance and currently have people with a variety of working patterns, including part-time roles.
The Personal Tax team is responsible for income tax, National Insurance contributions (NICs), the apprenticeship levy, inheritance tax and other aspects of the personal tax system, including longer-term strategy and linking up with other areas of tax and welfare. Total personal tax receipts exceed £450bn, so our policies are fundamental in fiscal and economic importance to the Treasury and of significant interest to the Chancellor and other ministers. For example, over the past few years the team’s work has included changes to NICs rates and thresholds, changes to the taxation of non-UK domiciled individuals, changes to inheritance tax and more.
