Lawyer for Individuals and International – be part of solving complex tax law issues

Would you like to work with the most complex legal issues in a professionally strong environment, where you get the possibility to work with principled personal tax law issues with great societal impact ? As our new colleague you will work closely with societal development and the political agenda.

You will become part of the Office for People and Abroad in the Tax Law Department, where we are responsible for handling cases concerning rules for personal taxation. It ranges from rules for taxation of wages and employee benefits to rules on taxation under a double taxation agreement between Denmark and another country.

A significant part of your work will be to process requests for binding rulings in principled cases. These are cases that set the practice going forward and can have large societal and economic significance. When you have prepared the Tax Authority's position in a case, you will need to participate and answer questions when the case is considered by the Tax Council.

Your tasks – a wide range of opportunities

We offer you challenging tasks, and you will have ample opportunity to apply and develop your expertise within personal taxation, including in in- and out-migration situations. You will largely come to work with establishing the tax practice in the personal taxation area in collaboration with skilled and experienced colleagues.

In addition to handling the Tax Council you will also participate in legislative preparatory work, just as you will contribute to the preparation of The Legal Guide as well as other information in the tax area. To some extent you will also become involved in the Tax Authority's work regarding conducting lawsuits.

In addition you will provide assistance to the Tax Authority's other staff when they encounter difficult or principled legal questions e.g. in connection with audits.

You will also participate in various liaison committees and networks, just as you will have the opportunity to teach your colleagues in the Tax Authority within the office's legal area.

You are solution-oriented, engaged and can handle many stakeholders and deadlines

We envisage that you have a relevant advanced education, e.g., cand.jur., cand. merc. jur. or tax auditor.

It is advantageous if you have experience with personal taxation, e.g. as advisor or tax auditor. Alternatively you may have experience as a legal case handler with strong legal and written skills.

You will work independently with cases of great societal and economic significance, where it is important that you arrive at a correct result. You will always be able to consult with colleagues who have extensive experience in the field. Therefore we emphasise that you have a can-do attitude and are ready to work together with colleagues and partners in and outside the Tax Authority.

To succeed in the position, it is important that you

• are able to convey complicated text in an understandable and accessible way - both orally and in writing
• have a proactive and analytical approach to your tasks
• are proactive, hardworking and can maintain overview when there are many tasks and tight deadlines
• are good at collaborating and maintaining relations across a large organisation

Your future workplace

You will become part of the Tax Law Department in the Ministry of Justice. We consist of seven offices and function as the Tax Authority's legal department in the tax law area.

We prioritise high professionalism, knowledge sharing and collaboration, because we know that the best solutions are created in collaboration.

It is important to us that there is a balance between work and leisure. We therefore offer flexible frameworks for organizing work, agreed between manager and employee.

It is also important to us that there is an informal tone with room for everyone.
