As a TAX SPECIALIST, you will be responsible for managing local tax matters and ensuring compliance with local regulations. You will also handle corporate tax matters, working closely with the corporate tax manager on international tax issues across jurisdictions.

Your key responsibilities as local tax specialist:
You will serve as the central point of contact for all tax-related matters, coordinating between internal teams, external advisors, and regulatory bodies. You will ensure compliance with local tax regulations, managing the timely and accurate submission of tax filings.

You will also lead local tax audits, working to resolve any issues and ensure compliance with audit requirements. Identifying opportunities for local tax incentives and overseeing the accounting of deferred tax assets and liabilities will also be key aspects of your role.

Your key responsibilities as corporate tax specialist:
In collaboration with the corporate tax manager, you will assist with managing tax compliance, risk management, and global tax projects to optimize the company’s tax position and minimize risks. You will also be involved in developing and implementing strategies for tax incentives and supporting due diligence processes by analyzing tax implications of potential transactions.

Additionally, you will contribute to VAT filings, customs duties, and trade compliance across jurisdictions, ensuring adherence to regulations. You will also manage VAT and tax setup within the ERP system (SAP), ensuring accurate integration into business processes.

Who are we looking for?

You'll succeed if:

You have a passion for tax, a master’s degree in accounting with specialization in taxation, and several years of relevant experience. Background within the Big 4 is considered an asset, as well as familiarity with SAP.

Beyond technical expertise, we are seeking a dynamic and inspiring individual—someone who is flexible, autonomous, and thrives in a constantly evolving business environment. Driven by curiosity and a desire to improve, you will take ownership of your projects and continuously strive to make an impact.

At Oleon, we value entrepreneurship and collaboration. Taking initiative and making decisions define you. Dutch and English are a must, and a solid foundation in French is a strong asset.

This position offers excellent growth potential, with the opportunity to progress into the role of Corporate Tax Manager in the mid to long term.

 

Next to your skills, it is your drive and motivation that will make all the difference!
