Next to that,

  • You will provide pro-active VAT advice and support on banking products, business initiatives, projects and changes in tax law.
  • You will provide VAT knowledge to the business departments and finance & control.
  • You will oversee and manage VAT compliance risks for the Triodos entities in different countries.

To be successful in this role, you will have:

  • A master’s degree in Fiscal Economics, Tax Law or equivalent.
  • Around 5 years of relevant working experience in a tax advisory firm or an inhouse tax role.
  • Strong VAT technical skills, more notably application of VAT exemptions and EU VAT rules and case law.
  • Strong communication skills in English and in Dutch (both written and verbal).
  • Experience in the financial services industry is an advantage for this role but is not considered an absolute necessity.

Your future colleagues

You will be reporting directly to the Group Tax Director and cooperate closely with the Group and Local tax specialists.

The Group Tax Department currently consists of 4 tax specialists.
