UK-Based International Tax Professionals – How Much Travel Is Involved?

Hi everyone,

I’m a 2nd year Accounting & Finance student in the UK and starting to explore career paths in tax, especially international tax. I’d love to hear from professionals currently working in international tax roles.

Specifically, I’m curious about:

• How much travel your role typically involves. Is it mostly within the UK, international, or a mix?
• How often do you travel, and for how long?
• Any pros/cons of the travel aspect that you’ve experienced?
• Advice for someone considering a career in international tax who wants to know what the lifestyle is like.

Any personal experiences, insights, or tips would be massively appreciated!

Thanks in advance 🙏
