He set up the indirect tax department in 2002. Tamás spent seven months in the Netherlands, Switzerland and Germany and this helped him to become acquainted with European VAT systems. He was appointed as a partner in 2005 and he was also put in charge of state aid and incentive services.

During his years with PricewaterhouseCoopers he has worked continuously for both domestic Hungarian and international companies in the technology, information, communication and entertainment (TICE), automotive and pharmaceutical industries, as well as in the banking sector.

In 2012 PwC Hungary launched a unique initiative: preparing a tax controversy and dispute resolution survey and issuing a report on taxpayers' experiences with tax audits. For the second edition, PwC Hungary organised a series of meetings with the Hungarian regional tax authorities.
