About the Group
The Business and International Group (BIT) is one of 14 groups in the Treasury. It currently comprises of c.140 staff (full-time equivalents) and 8 teams:
- Corporate Tax
- Energy and Transport Tax

The work of the Group is vital to fund essential public services, while working with other Treasury Groups to support the Government’s wider agenda – including supporting economy as it recovers from the impact of COVID-19; developing and negotiating new customs arrangements following the UK’s departure from the EU; levelling up opportunities across all parts of the United Kingdom; and delivering “Net Zero” carbon emissions by 2050.
The Group’s high-profile portfolio make it a highly dynamic, flexible and interesting place to work. BIT is committed to diversity and is proud to support a friendly and inclusive working environment. BIT values each individual and encourages development for all roles. Our work offers a range of opportunities to develop and we are increasingly working in a more flexible way, creating opportunities for staff, such as supporting those that want to undertake tax qualifications.
By joining BIT, you will become part of a team that value and encourage the best in one another, whilst tackling some of the most pressing and interesting policy questions on the Government’s agenda.
