Pump Court Tax Chambers – Problem Question Competition 2025/26
First Prize - £750 and a mini-pupillage
Runner-up prizes of up to £500 at judges’ discretion
Chambers is once again running its Tax Law Problem Question Competition.
Students are invited to submit an answer to the enclosed problem question by 16 January 2026 at 5pm.
No previous knowledge of the subject area is required and entrants are required only to read the one case referred to in the problem question.
Answers may be up to 1000 words (including footnotes) and conciseness is encouraged.
Entrants must be studying at a UK university/college or have completed their studies at a UK university/college within the past three years (applicants do not necessarily need to have been studying law) but must not have commenced a training contract or pupillage (or equivalent in another jurisdiction).
Each entry should be the work of a single author (so no joint entries are allowed).
Answers should be sent to competitions@pumptax.com in Microsoft Word format.
The covering email should state the entrant’s full name, present (or most recent) university/college and contact details (judging is anonymous so please do not include your name in the essay itself). All submissions will be acknowledged.
