Tax Ombudsman and Qualified Decision-Maker in Taxation

Are you a lawyer or economist who enjoys both independent work and collaboration? Do you want to create societal benefits together with knowledgeable colleagues? As a tax ombudsman and qualified decision-maker in taxation, you will have a varied and educational job that involves complex issues and many contacts both internally and externally.

Join us in making society possible!

About the Job

You will work both as a tax ombudsman and as a particularly qualified decision-maker (FSKB). The investigations can be complex and extensive and aim to prevent tax evasion. You will work on investigations and processes in close collaboration with investigators and auditors. You are responsible for the legal quality of the investigations and write and make decisions. You represent the Tax Agency in court processes, analyze, evaluate evidence issues, and build legal arguments, which places high demands on your ability to argue and your substantive knowledge.

We are constantly working to develop and improve our operations. If you are interested, there may be opportunities to participate in improvement and development assignments alongside your regular duties.

You plan your own workday and drive your cases both independently and in collaboration with others. You work closely with your colleagues, and you support and receive support from each other. The work is qualified, and you learn and gain new knowledge both broadly and deeply. The work involves many contacts, for example, with clients 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.

In our section, we are 15 colleagues in Malmö who mainly work with legal investigative support and process operations. We belong to process section 5 in Crime Prevention Unit 2 in the Crime Prevention Department. From June 1, a new department, the Legal and Process Department, will be formed, which means that we will instead become part of process section 15 in process unit 1 in the Legal and Process Department. The location for the position is Malmö.
