BC Public Service - Internal Job Opportunities

The Team 

The Audit & Compliance (APT) and Property Transfer Tax Compliance (PTT) teams are dynamic, high‑impact units within the BC Public Service, each contributing millions of dollars in annual revenue that support essential public services and civic projects across the province. APT consists of four audit and compliance teams focused on reviewing annual SVT declarations to confirm eligibility for tax exemptions, while PTT is made up of three teams dedicated to supporting taxpayers and ensuring property transfer tax is administered fairly and equitably. Both areas include a mix of established and newly formed teams, offering opportunities to work alongside Compliance Analysts, Audit Analysts, Auditors, Compliance Supervisors, Policy Analysts, and a Programs Team. Across both APT and PTT, employees benefit from a supportive, collaborative, and welcoming environment grounded in hands‑on training and shared problem‑solving.
