About the job
In the field of international personal taxation, you will work with the processing and investigation of cases that vary in scope and complexity. The area primarily covers income from employment and capital income. As an officer, you will be responsible for clarifying how the client's tax situation should be handled, both materially and practically, according to both internal law and tax treaties, as well as regarding pension-qualifying income. In your work, you will analyze and assess various types of documentation, often foreign documents. With the support of laws and regulations, you will evaluate the documentation and make decisions. During certain periods, providing tax information may be part of your duties, which involves answering tax-related questions from individuals over the phone and guiding them on how to best use our e-services.
We work in teams, which means you will work closely with your colleagues, supporting each other to fulfill the team's mission. You will plan your own workday and manage your cases both independently and in collaboration with others.
The work is qualified, and you will learn and gain new knowledge both broadly and in depth. The role involves significant customer contact, and an important part of the assignment is to provide the client with a good foundation to make correct decisions in the future. You will have flexible working hours, and it is essential for us that you maintain a balance between work and leisure.
You will belong to the Personal Taxation Unit 2 in the Personal Taxation Department, located in Uppsala.
