Good morning team, please I am making enquiries about the tax specialist programme

Hi, thank you for your question.

Based on my experience, having joined the TSP as an external candidate, I found it to be a fantastic opportunity to accelerate my career and gain exposure to a completely new area of work. For colleagues already in the Civil Service, I would say the TSP is best suited for those who want to build a career as tax specialists, rather than using it purely as a stepping stone to G7.

That said, once you reach G7 and meet any commitments agreed upon when joining the programme, there is flexibility to move into other roles; you won’t necessarily be limited to tax specialist positions.

Given your current experience, if your main goal is simply to secure a G7 role, you might find it more practical to apply for promotion opportunities in areas that align with your existing skills, rather than committing to upwards of four years of study before progressing.

Hope this helps - best of luck!
Daniel
