Head of the Henstand unit on Bornholm

Would you lead a professionally strong area where good people management, high professionalism and secure operations go hand in hand? Are you motivated by creating direction, wellbeing and good conditions for employees – and do you also have an eye for quality and progress in task execution? Then you may be our new functional leader for Henstand in the Tax Administration.

About the unit

Henstand is part of the Jura (Law) area in the Tax Administration and processes applications from citizens and companies for deferral of payment of tax and duty claims. The area consists of 14 employees and is located in Rønne.

Henstand has so far been organizationally grouped with the case area expense reimbursement, but going forward must be an independent unit. Therefore we are creating a new functional leadership position with responsibility for the Henstand case area. As a functional leader you will have the opportunity to lead the area in a new organizational framework and together with the employees set the direction for the continued development.

Henstand plays an important role in ensuring the rule of law for citizens and businesses through a correct, consistent and efficient administration of the rules in the area. The responsibilities consist mainly of concrete handling of deferral applications, preparation of statements to among others the Tax Appeal Board (Skatteankenævnet) and responding to other internal and external requests.

We place emphasis on high professionalism, good collaboration and good conditions for employees' wellbeing as well as a professional and efficient task execution for the benefit of citizens and businesses.
