The cantonal tax office, together with the municipal tax offices, collects taxes for the federal government, the canton, and the municipalities. We support private individuals and companies throughout the entire tax collection process. Around 800 qualified employees are committed to this at the location in Zurich Altstetten. The Legal Service advises the assessment departments on tax law issues, represents the tax office in appeal procedures, answers inquiries from taxpayers and tax advisors, and decides on the tax exemption of legal entities. To complement our Tax Exemptions team, we are looking for a legal intern from 1 September 2026 or by arrangement.

Your profile - You have completed a Master of Law (MLaw) degree or are about to graduate. - Preferably, you have already gained some professional experience in the legal field during your studies, ideally at a court. - You enjoy working independently, are responsible, and show initiative. - Your strong communication skills as well as your pronounced customer and service orientation distinguish you. - In addition, you are interested in working on new subject areas and can quickly grasp connections thanks to your good powers of comprehension. What we offer - Insights into tax and procedural law as well as the functioning of the cantonal tax office. - Professional support from a well-coordinated and experienced team as well as the opportunity to contribute and participate actively. - As an employer, the Canton of Zurich offers you attractive employment conditions such as flexible working hours, home office options, and lunch vouchers. - A modern workplace in close proximity to Zurich Altstetten train station. - This internship can partially be credited towards obtaining the lawyer's licence.
