About the Job

The mission of the Crime Prevention Department is to prevent, combat, and investigate economic crime, serious tax evasion, both nationally and internationally, and population registration as a tool for crime.

As an investigator or tax auditor with us, you will work on in-depth investigations aimed at stopping incorrect payments, combating intentional tax evasion both nationally and internationally, and preventing the exploitation of our welfare system. The investigations often involve multiple tax types, and you will investigate undeclared income, undeclared labor, or undeclared wages to establish correct taxation. You may also participate in workplace visits in collaboration with other authorities.

The tasks are extensive and complex, requiring close cooperation with colleagues. The work demands high efficiency and quality, and you are expected to assess which action and investigation method is best suited for each individual case.

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 tax section 2 or 3 at tax unit 3 in the Crime Prevention Department and are based in Uppsala. At the Uppsala office, we have about 35 colleagues working on these tasks.
