• Provide expertise and support for Customs duty-related issues, including tariff classifications, country of origin determinations, and valuation of goods, if applicable.
• Keep abreast of international VAT and Customs duty developments and assess their impact on the business. Support the broader tax team with ad-hoc projects and initiatives.
You will probably be either working at a large accounting firm or in a similar role in house and have significant experience in VAT compliance and advisory work. In-depth knowledge of VAT laws and regulations, with experience in multiple jurisdictions being highly desirable.
