• Analyze tax implications and exposures arising from Oil & Gas operations, joint venture arrangements, and partnerships, as well as transactions with operators, contractors, suppliers, service providers, and third parties.
• Support tax planning and intercompany/related-party transactions, including transfer pricing analysis, documentation, and compliance, in accordance with Venezuelan tax law and Company policies.
• Monitor changes in legislation, regulations, administrative criteria, and practices of Venezuelan tax authorities, assessing their potential financial and operational impact.
• Provide tax analysis and information required for financial reporting, budgets, forecasts, cash flow planning, and other Controllership requirements.
• Support internal and external audits, as well as regulatory reviews, inspections, and information requests. Maintain proper tax documentation, reconciliations, review evidence, control records, and audit trails, ensuring the confidentiality, integrity, traceability, and appropriate retention of tax information.
