Do you want to be where the action is? Then excise duties are for you!

We offer a varied role for you who have experience in investigative work and want customer contact. To succeed in the job, you should enjoy teamwork, be development-oriented, and thrive in a tax area that is constantly changing. Join us and make society possible!

About the job

You will work with cases concerning the disclosure of public documents and qualified handling of excise duties within the energy sector. This involves reviewing, investigating, and deciding on taxation and reimbursement of our excise duties. Some tasks may include assessing corporate financial status. You will also be the face of the Swedish Tax Agency by answering questions about excise duties, primarily from businesses, via phone and email. Travel may be required as part of the role.

You plan your own workday and handle your cases both independently and in collaboration with others. We work in teams, and you work closely with your colleagues, providing and receiving support from one another. The excise duties area is complex and challenging, with regular legislative changes. It suits you if you want a varied role and are stimulated by gathering information. You have flexible working hours, and it is a given for us that you maintain a balance between work and leisure.

You belong to a section within the Corporate Tax Department, with placement in Ludvika or Örebro. At the unit, we currently have 200 colleagues. Excise duty handlers are located in four sections in Ludvika, Örebro, Gothenburg, Sundbyberg, and Malmö.
