Tax Officer

Are you an economist or a lawyer who enjoys both independent work and collaboration? Do you want to create societal benefits together with knowledgeable colleagues? As a tax officer, you will have a varied and educational job that involves investigations and many contacts.

Join us in making society possible!

About the job

You will work with the processing and 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 individuals and businesses. With the support of laws and regulations, you assess the documentation and make decisions. Some cases are simple and quick, while others take more time. During certain periods, tax guidance may be part of your duties. This means that you will answer questions about taxes from individuals and provide guidance on how to best use our e-services.

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. The job involves many contacts, for example, with customers and other authorities. You have flexible working hours, and it is a given for us that you should have a balance between work and leisure.

You belong to the Personal Tax Unit 7 in the Personal Tax Department, located in Halmstad. In the unit, we work with both national and international taxation for individuals (including shareholder taxation) and with employer contributions.
