Appointment of up to two Members to the Board of Revenue Scotland

Job Description

Revenue Scotland is looking for two Members to join its Board. The Board is currently made up of a Board of seven non-executive directors, one Chairperson, and six Board Members who oversee the work of Revenue Scotland. We also currently have just under 100 staff and a senior leadership team of four, led by our Chief Executive.

Since 2015, Revenue Scotland has been responsible for collecting almost £7 billion from two devolved taxes, Land and Buildings Transaction Tax and Scottish Landfill Tax.

Our Corporate Plan 2024-27 sets out our aspirations for the future and strategic objectives. Over the next three years we will be preparing to introduce two new devolved taxes: Scottish Aggregates Tax and Scottish Building Safety Levy. We are also investing in enhancements of our digital and data services, playing our part in the public service reform agenda and engaging more widely with other organisations involved in tax and related public services to enhance the user experience.
