Associate (Indirect Tax) at Ernst & Young (EY), Mumbai (LLB/CA, 2+ Years Experience)

Ernst & Young (EY) is a global professional services organisation working across assurance, tax, transaction and advisory services. In its own words on this requisition, EY hires and develops "the most passionate people in their field to help build a better working world", starting with a culture built on training, opportunity and creative freedom. EY frames the proposition to candidates as "It's yours to build" - the firm says it focuses not only on who you are now but on who you can become, and offers motivating and fulfilling experiences throughout a career to help people become their best professional selves.

The opportunity is listed as Associate - National - TAX - Indirect Tax - Core - Mumbai, Requisition ID 1694441, posted on 15 August 2026.

National at EY comprises sector-agnostic teams working across industries, which the firm describes as giving a well-rounded experience.

TAX - Indirect Tax - Core: EY's globally coordinated tax professionals offer connected services across all tax disciplines to help clients thrive in an era of rapid change. The practice combines its knowledge and experience with people and technology platforms so that clients can make better business decisions, and helps companies understand the tax policies and tax laws of governments around the world in order to plan and comply accordingly. The teams use transformative technologies to deliver strategy and execution, from tax and regulatory obligations to operations and workforce management, to reduce risk and drive sustainable value. EY's tax competencies span Business Tax Services, Global Compliance and Reporting, Global Law, Indirect Tax, International Tax and Transaction Services.

Under the heading "Technical Excellence", the requisition sets out the following:

• A solid understanding of indirect tax regulatory requirements applicable in national contexts.
• Experience in managing indirect tax litigation processes, including preparing the necessary documentation and representation.
• Proficiency in analysing complex tax matters and recommending effective strategies to mitigate risks.
• The ability to conduct thorough research on indirect tax legislation in support of client advisory services.
• Demonstrated capability in collaborating with cross-functional teams to deliver tax solutions in consulting settings.

• Qualification: LLB or CA.
• Experience: 2+ years.

Note for applicants: the experience line on EY's requisition page reads "Frontend Development (2+ years)", which is evidently leftover template text from an unrelated posting - every other part of the advert, including the responsibilities and the qualification requirement, describes an indirect tax role. Read the requirement as 2+ years of relevant post-qualification experience in indirect tax. Anyone who wants that confirmed in writing should raise it with the recruiter through the EY careers portal during the application.

EY says it looks for people with the ability to work in a collaborative manner to provide services across multiple client departments while following the commercial and legal requirements. The firm wants a practical approach to solving issues and complex problems, with the ability to deliver insightful and practical solutions, and looks for people who are agile, curious, mindful, able to sustain positive energy, and adaptable and creative in their approach.

EY states that it has emerged as the strongest brand and the most attractive employer in its field, with market-leading growth over competitors, and that its people work side by side with market-leading entrepreneurs, game-changers, disruptors and visionaries. The organisation says it is investing more time, technology and money than ever before in skills and learning for its people. Selected candidates get a personalised career journey and access to EY's career frameworks, which set out roles, skills and opportunities. EY also describes itself as committed to being an inclusive employer, striving for a balance that lets its people build their careers and focus on their wellbeing while the firm delivers client service.
