Student assistants with an interest in law for the appeals area

”You can look forward to having the opportunity to take responsibility for your own tasks and see them through to the end. There is always something new to learn, so you can learn a lot.” This is how Fillippa, who was our former student assistant at the Tax Appeals Board in Silkeborg, describes it. Do you want to gain insight into the work of a casehandler in an independent appeal authority? Become part of the student team.

Gain insight into legal case processing

The Tax Appeals Board is an independent agency under the Ministry of Taxation, where our main task is to ensure competent, efficient and independent handling of appeals. In Silkeborg we are currently seeking student assistants who would like to help our casehandlers in the appeal case processing at the 3rd, 8th, 9th, 14th and 22nd offices.

The offices handle many different types of appeal cases in the tax and motor vehicle areas, and as a student assistant you will thus have the opportunity to try your hand at administrative tasks within several legal areas. You will gain good insight into how we work with the legal method and the work as a casehandler.

You will assist your colleagues in all five offices but will be particularly attached to the 3rd office. You will take responsibility for your own tasks and will be able to advance professionally with the tasks as you gain experience. With us we emphasize viewing changes as a condition we actively take ownership of. We also focus on investing in good collaboration and being proactive with colleagues and partners.

You will receive training from an experienced student assistant and will have a casehandler as your fixed sparring partner. But of course you can consult the other casehandlers – everyone is ready to help you, so you are never alone with your tasks. The student team will consist of three to four student assistants, and together you will distribute the tasks that come into the team.

You will work about 15 hours per week, and there is good opportunity to plan the tasks according to your study schedule. At the Tax Appeals Board we also support flexible working conditions.

Your main tasks

• prepare cases for the casehandlers.
• contribute to handling of the appeal board – e.g., prepare material for board meetings.
• compile bill of lading materials and handle ongoing administrative tasks – e.g., order documents.
• assist in connection with access to information requests and possibly with certain letters to appellants and representatives.

With these tasks we imagine that you

• are pursuing an education in law and have an interest in administrative and tax law.
• would like to help our legal casehandlers and are keen to handle a range of administrative tasks.
• work independently and responsibly with attention to detail and a focus on quality in your task execution.
• will actively contribute to collaboration across several offices and communicate clearly both in writing and verbally.

Your new colleagues Lucas and Aske look forward to meeting you

”When you start as a student assistant with us, you will receive thorough training in the tasks we handle in the student team. You can look forward to having the opportunity to take responsibility for your own tasks and follow them through to the end. There is always something new to learn. It’s great to have the opportunity to help several offices, because it provides access to knowledge about multiple case areas – and there is a good and informal tone here.”

Did you know…

… that the Tax Appeals Board 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 Board is an independent appeals authority. This means that when a citizen or company has received a decision from e.g. the Tax Agency that they do not agree with, they can appeal to us. It can concern which tax or VAT they have to pay. Our most important task is to help citizens and businesses obtain the correct decision in their case within a reasonable processing time. Every day we go to work to ensure the rule of law, and we think this gives our work meaning.
