Senior Associate Indirect Tax

Job Description & Summary

As a Senior Associate in the Public Interest Entities team in the Indirect Tax department at PwC, you work on the tax position of (listed) multinational organizations that operate within Europe or worldwide in various sectors. You ensure that our clients are in control when it comes to indirect taxes. For this, you provide advice on the rules, brainstorm about optimization, and implement business processes. So, are you the experienced tax specialist who wants to help clients? Apply now!

What will you be doing?

The ITX PIE team focuses on large (often listed) multinationals that have activities within Europe or worldwide. The diversity of clients within the PIE team is therefore enormous and ranges from clients from America to Asia and from clients active in sectors such as technology, pharma, agrifood, consumables, energy & utilities, and many more. The ITX PIE team is also regularly involved in large international merger and acquisition processes, where we collaborate with colleagues from other (tax) disciplines.

As a VAT specialist in the ITX PIE team, you solve complex VAT issues for our international clients. No day is the same, which keeps the work fascinating and varied. Because of the international nature of our clients, you are in contact with colleagues working at foreign PwC offices. This makes the work varied and ensures that you quickly build an international network.

• You are always in conversation with your clients about relevant developments or issues related to VAT that they encounter and provide advice;

• You also have an eye for matters other than VAT. You work closely with colleagues working in other (tax) areas. Through the multidisciplinary approach, you provide comprehensive support to the client. You optimize the (international) VAT position and/or (cross-border) supply chain of clients;

• You contribute to drafting objection and appeal letters and are involved in discussions with the Tax Authorities. Additionally, you brainstorm about using technology to make the work of your client and yourself more efficient. Of course, there is the opportunity to specialize further in a specific region (such as the US or Asia) or a specific sector, so that you can be a broad discussion partner for your clients based on your knowledge of the business, sector, and societal developments;

• We believe it is important to play a role in the ESG (Environmental, Social & Governance) related topics of our clients. Your work therefore has a direct impact on society, and you act accordingly. You are happy to contribute to solving societal issues.

Does this describe you?

You are an ambitious tax specialist who wants to grow, build relationships, make an impact, and bring out the best in yourself and your colleagues. You enjoy working in a team, ensure quality, and have a positive mindset to further assist both the team and your clients. Furthermore, you have:

• A completed university degree in Tax Law or Tax Economics;

• At least 2 years of relevant (VAT) work experience;

• Strong analytical skills and the ability to quickly familiarize yourself with new technological solutions, such as Alteryx and Power BI;

• A good command of the Dutch and/or English language.

What are we offering?

At PwC, you will have the opportunity to be yourself, get the best out of yourself in a high-performance organisation and grow within our global network. As part of our team we offer:

• A competitive salary, permanent contract, attractive pension plan and the opportunity to grow rapidly;

• Customised training for professional growth and leadership development;

• Motivating work environment where collaboration with ambitious colleagues and recognition for your contributions are highly valued;

• Comprehensive benefits including "well-being budget" for physical and mental health;

• Flexibility of hybrid working, including ergonomic home office and fixed expense allowance including internet allowance;

• Attractive mobility options, including electric lease car, car waiver allowance and the possibility of using different shared transport providers;

• 30 vacation days per year;

• Fun extras such as various informal company activities.

These are just a handful of our terms of employment. Find more information on our website.
