The accounting and tax professions are no longer limited to the services they once were, thus changing the way it must be taught and learned to incoming professionals to keep the industry cycle afloat. This study aimed to get a dual-perspective view; deducing from the student perspective whether tax education has an effect on students’ perceptions on their professional skills in accordance with IES 3 – Professional Skills, as well as the professionals’ perspective on what incoming professionals need to survive, thrive, and progress within the tax profession. The study employed a convergent parallel mixed method approach, where a survey was conducted among DLSU students and interviews were held with tax professionals from the five (5) roles in the taxation system: private tax practitioners or advisors, internal accountants, tax litigators, government accountants, and members of the academe (educators, lecturers). Quantitative results were drawn through descriptive statistics and Somers’ Delta, while qualitative results analyzed through thematic analysis. Combined, they were subjected to mixed-method integration. Key findings of the study were that there is an overall significant relationship between tax education and perceptions on students’ professional skills regardless of having external tax experience, as well as a description of what skills were found important in the professionals’ experience through their careers and what is sought out by professionals from new hires and staffs.
