About the Job

You will request additional information via phone, email, and letters in contact with individuals and businesses. With the support of laws and regulations, you will assess the documentation and make decisions. Many cases are simple and quick, while others take more time. Your tasks mainly involve investigating the tax residency of companies and individuals.
