About the Job

You will work with VAT issues and the investigation of cases that vary in scope and complexity. This means that you analyze and assess different types of documentation. You request additional information via phone, mail, and digital mailboxes in contact with businesses. With the support of laws and regulations, you make an assessment of the documentation and make decisions. Some cases are simple and quick, while others take more time. You will also work with customer meetings over the phone with both individuals and businesses.

You plan your own workday and drive your cases both independently and in collaboration with others. You work closely with your colleagues, providing and receiving support from each other. The work is qualified, and you learn and gain new knowledge both broadly and in depth. You also contribute to our work with continuous improvements in everyday life and choose effective solutions. You think innovatively, dare, and act.

You belong to the Corporate Taxation Unit 8 in the Corporate Taxation Department, located in Jönköping, Vetlanda, Värnamo, or Växjö. The unit currently operates in 19 locations and has a total of about 230 employees distributed across 11 sections.

Interviews are planned for week 4, so invitations to interviews will be sent out during week 3.
