About the Job

You will belong to a team that works with the review and investigation of VAT declarations from international companies. You will handle cases of mixed nature, including both quick and simple cases as well as more complex cases that require good material VAT knowledge and further investigation through contact with the customer. In addition to handling cases, you will also manage surrounding tasks. Depending on your profile and background, it may also be relevant to take on tasks in one of our other teams within international VAT in the unit.

The work involves many contacts, for example with customers and other authorities. You plan your own workday and drive your cases both independently and in collaboration with others.

You work closely with your colleagues, and you give and receive support from each other. The work is qualified, and you learn and gain new knowledge both broadly and deeply. Your areas of work are determined in dialogue with your immediate supervisor, and together we develop your competence. You have flexible working hours, and it is a given for us that you should have a balance between work and leisure.

You will belong to the Corporate Taxation Department and work in Corporate Taxation Unit 1, located in Malmö or Sundbyberg.
