Job description

At the Capgemini office in Utrecht, The Netherlands, a new position has arisen for a Tax Specialist/Manager who will report hierarchically into the Tax Director. Being part of a small Tax team, responsible for the Benelux region, that consists of 4 people (including this position), you will work closely with the Tax Director, Tax Manager and Tax Specialist. Coming from a specific tax specialization, in this role the Tax Specialist/Manager will be able to develop into an all-round Tax professional, with a lot of ‘on the job’ learning in other tax fields. Although the role has a main focus on Wage Tax and/or VAT, the responsibilities stretch from (inter)national Corporate Income Tax, to advising on a broad range of VAT and Employment Tax topics and managing the tax compliance processes, as the tax team wants to be able to support and/or replace each other when required.

More specifically the tasks and responsibilities will or may include:

• Provide advice and support on complex employment tax issues (e.g. Work-Related Expense Scheme (WKR) assessment, share plans);
• Support in technical VAT advise, from day-to-day questions to project-based initiatives, such as the implementation of SAP S/4HANA and e-invoicing;
• Maintain and improve the processes Capgemini has within the tax function as part of its tax risk management;
• Together with the rest of the team, support the Tax Director in M&A projects and assist in due diligence on acquisitions, divestments, finance structuring and corporate restructurings;
• Provide (inter)national tax advice and support on corporate income tax and withholding tax matters and special projects relating to (inter)national taxation;
• Together with the team you will have a shared responsibility for managing the (outsourced) corporate income tax compliance process in The Netherlands, Belgium and Luxembourg;
• Assist in maintaining and improving the TP framework, including supporting with all documentation requirements such as Local files;
• Assist with tax audits as and when they may arise.

Candidate
You have a Dutch tax degree, and you have 2-5 years of experience at an advisory firm or multinational environment. Experience with Employment Tax or VAT is a must, whereas any prior exposure to (Dutch) Corporate Income Tax and Tax Compliance is considered a big plus, although it can be gained on the job as well. You will need to have a flexible mindset to be able to cope with ever changing situations, in addition to a hands‑on mentality. Last but not least, you are a team player with excellent communication skills, and you are fluent in Dutch and English (speaking and writing).
