For the tax team as an apprentice there is no requirement for you to know any technologies, however it is useful to know basics of excel -

If you are interested in more technologies, once you join you can ask about working on tax technology projects and on those you will pick up skills as required

Again, no tech skills are required for tax but if you are interested it is always useful to learn coding (SQL, Python)

Hi Manraj, from what I have gathered from one of my questions regarding something similar, getting used to / understand Excel will be beneficial to give yourself an advantageous start at EY. I am also joining EY this September as an apprentice in the Manchester office. Where are you based?
