Hi all,

I am currently doing Articleship in a firm that has mainly Audits and has very little of Tax. Only during the Tax season do we do ITR filing and all Tax related work.

I wish to pursue a career in Direct Taxes and now I am confused as to whether it is possible to get into a Tax firm like a Big4 or a BMR after qualifying considering the fact that I have had exposure in Tax for only 2 months of a year i.e 6 months out of 36 months of my Articleship. I still have 4 months left for completion of my 1st year of Articles so still transfer of Articleship is not ruled out.

Plz do advise me... I need some help badly....

But Rakesh I have a doubt. Now even lets say if I get into a Tax firm after qualifying, my practical knowledge would still be less right considering the fact that very less exposure I ahve got in Tax. I mean i ll be as good as an Article Trainee i.e the knowledge level concerned?
