EY Young Tax Professional of the Year 2021

To: UG Penultimate & Final-year students,

EY Young Tax Professional of the Year 2021 is calling for applications.

EY Young Tax Professional of the Year 2021 is an international competition designed to identify young talent with an interest in tax, help them enhance their professional skills and develop their careers. The competition gives participants the opportunity to share experiences with people from a range of backgrounds and cultures.

By bringing together students from all over the world, the event aims to demonstrate how much the tax profession has changed today and how business is managed in different cultures. The competition will also expose participants to the skills required to be tomorrow’s leaders. This competition will provide you with an opportunity to:

• Discover how a world class professional service organization helps its clients achieve their goals
• Learn about international career opportunities in tax
• Make contact with people who can help you drive your career forward

The first phase of the competition takes place in Hong Kong. Hong Kong finalists will be invited to join Greater China final which would take place in Beijing in June (tentative). Country finalist will then be invited to participate in the International final which would take place in Europe! During the international final, the successful country finalists will work closely with people from other cultures and backgrounds. Participants will be challenged with case studies and interviews before experienced judges. The finalists will be invited to a prestigious awards ceremony where — after a final review of performance throughout the competition — the three winners of the Young Tax Professional of the Year will be announced.
