UK Civil Service Fast Stream Assessment

The Tax Specialist Programme (TSP) is HM Revenue and Customs' (HMRC) training scheme for future tax specialists in the UK, open to graduates and eligible existing civil servants. It is a structured 3 to 4 year programme that combines live tax casework with formal learning and assessment, and trainees who complete it are promoted to a Senior Tax Specialist role. No previous tax experience, accounting qualification or finance degree is required. Applicants must have, or expect to achieve by September 2027, a minimum 2:2 degree or an equivalent Level 6 qualification, or, if they do not hold a degree-level qualification, be a current civil servant recruited through fair and open competition who will have successfully completed probation before September 2027. Applications are made through Civil Service Jobs, and selection runs in stages: the Civil Service Verbal and Numerical tests, the Civil Service Judgement Test, the Civil Service Styles Assessment and a half-day face-to-face assessment centre. HMRC says it may raise pass marks at any stage, and applications are assessed separately for each location, so the score required to progress may vary between locations.
