Young Tax Professional of the Year Competition

Think tax is only about knowing all the rules? Think again.

What’s it all about?

The Young Tax Professional of the Year Competition (YTPY) is your chance to challenge yourself, discover the world of tax and show us how you think.

We’re looking for Master’s students specializing in taxation who are curious, analytical and ready to take on a challenge. And don’t worry, you don’t need to be a tax expert already. YTPY isn’t just about what you know today. We also want to discover how you approach a problem, think critically, work with new information and bring your ideas to the table.

Compete for the Belgian title and the chance to represent Belgium in EY’s global YTPY competition. The global competition brings together local winners from around the world, with 10 finalists selected to compete in an exciting in-person global final.

What can you expect?

Join us at our office on 13 November for an exciting introduction to the world of Tax at EY!
