Lawyers for the enforcement area in an independent complaints authority

Would you like to become proficient in handling complaint cases? And gain a lot of knowledge about the collection area? Then this position in our debt collection team in Odense is for you: Become part of a team where your colleagues offer you professional sparring and a strong sense of social togetherness.

A broad field of case types

In the Tax Appeals Office's 17th office in Odense, we would like to welcome a new colleague to the team, who primarily works with cases within the debt collection area. We are receiving more and more cases and would therefore like more resources for the team. You do not need prior knowledge of debt collection – you will gain that knowledge with us. We are looking for someone with a legal background and an interest in complaint handling.

In the office we work with a broad field of case areas within debt collection. In addition to debt collection, the office also handles cases within business taxation and other tax cases, which you will therefore also have the opportunity to try your hand at. Our focus is high quality, efficiency and the rule of law. We will ensure that citizens and businesses experience competent complaint handling with correct and understandable decisions within a reasonable processing time. Therefore we work efficiently and take care in both time and content.

In the debt collection area there are types of cases such as remission, deferral, wage garnishment and statute of limitations on debt. We make decisions in most cases ourselves, while principled cases go to the National Tax Tribunal. We have complex cases and cases that go through a fast case processing. You will work independently with your tasks, but you will experience cross-team collaboration and plenty of professional sparring.

We tailor a bespoke onboarding program for you, and you will be assigned a sparring partner to help you get started. You will be prepared to solve the tasks, which will be adapted to your professional development.

In the Tax Appeals Office we support flexible working conditions, and you discuss the framework for work planning with your manager based on the overall task solution.

Your responsibilities and primary tasks

• cases within debt collection, varying in complexity and nature.
• independent responsibility for your tasks, which you follow through to completion.
• ensure efficient complaint handling, where you apply your legal competencies.
• ensure a good process in your cases with good dialogue with complainants along the way.

With these tasks we imagine that you

• are a cand.jur. or cand.merc.jur., and have an interest in administrative law and legal case handling. You can be a recent graduate or have experience - the most important is that you want to handle complaints, are ready to learn a lot about the case area and have a go-getter attitude.
• enjoy written legal work and communicate clearly in writing, but also feel comfortable engaging in dialogue with the complainants in your cases.
• prefer to work independently, purposefully and take responsibility for your tasks and feel confident in making professional decisions.
• are motivated for professional sparring, collaboration and learning across the team and thrive in an informal and social environment.

Did you know…

… that the Tax Appeals Office is one of the country’s largest legal workplaces, covering the full spectrum of complexity in tax law – from property valuation to transfer pricing and taxation of employees.

.. that the Tax Appeals Office is an independent appeal body. This means that when a citizen or business has received a decision from e.g. the Tax Agency that they do not agree with, they can appeal to us. It may involve which tax or VAT they must pay. Our most important task is to help citizens and businesses obtain the correct decision in their case. Every day we go to work to ensure the rule of law, and we think that gives our work meaning.
