Associate Indirect Tax - Financial Services

Join PwC as an Associate in Indirect Tax - Financial Services

Job Description & Summary

Do you want to engage with all the developments in the financial sector and make an impact in a role where VAT, technology and social interest come together? We are looking for you!

The financial sector is in a state of flux. Online payment platforms, (digital) banks, fintechs and flash traders are constantly looking to innovate and improve their services, often by using technology. But established parties are also innovating to keep up with the times. More than ever, financial institutions have to deal with complex regulations in the various countries in which they operate. This creates a fascinating field of tension between client, regulator and adviser.

As advisers, we relieve clients when they encounter the consequences of VAT. We also act as the link between clients and regulators and are not afraid to put forward new ideas, even if these require legal proceedings.

What will you be doing?

As a (Senior) Associate in the Indirect Tax - Financial Services team, you will contribute to finding a solution for our clients. Whether that is by interpreting the corresponding VAT consequences based on developments in the business, being in 'control' of the VAT position, or resolving a dispute. You will focus on (complex) VAT issues, act as the first point of contact for our clients, and use technology to achieve efficiency in your own work or collaborate on the integration of VAT in the client's systems. With the guidance and collaboration of your team members, you will have the opportunity to quickly develop your own knowledge and skills in a way that suits your ambition and abilities.

Your role includes the following tasks:

• Actively participating in consultations with the client and/or supervisor(s).
• Conducting research into opportunities to solve the client's VAT-related problems.
• Consulting with your (international) colleagues to jointly provide clients with a broad solution.
• Co-writing objection and appeal letters.
• Supervising less experienced colleagues and contributing to the team's atmosphere.

Does this describe you?

You are a driven tax consultant who wants to work creatively with the complex issues that come up. You have good analytical skills and are willing to develop further. You also like to contribute socially; both to the team and to build lasting relationships with clients and regulators.

We are looking for someone with:

• A completed master's degree in tax law or tax economics. (Are you not a diehard tax expert but have completed another master's degree and recognise yourself in the profile? Then contact us as well. We would love to think along with you!)
• Interest in the financial sector in a broad sense.
• Good command of Dutch and English.
• Relevant work experience is a plus, but not required for the Associate role.

What are we offering?

• 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 a "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.

Want to unlock new value by applying your unique perspective and talents? You can grow exponentially at PwC. Here, you can uncover hidden talents, build lifelong relationships rooted in trust and empathy, and turn challenges into opportunities for innovation. We’ll help you grow your skills through challenging, meaningful work so you can go further.
