The opportunity - What future are you building towards?
Are you looking for a place where you can realise your international ambitions? We offer you a platform to work with the largest and most diverse international clients in the world. A place full of career and growth opportunities! Will you grow with us?


At the moment, we are particularly looking for reinforcements for our Asia-focused Indirect Tax practice. We have seen our activities for Asian clients (inbound and outbound) grow significantly in recent years, especially in the area of indirect taxes. For this, we are looking for a Consultant or Senior Consultant (with a few years of relevant experience) who will be part of our Indirect Tax team in Amsterdam.


Our team - Do great minds always think alike?
Within the Indirect Tax department, we advise clients on both national and international VAT legislation, customs duties, environmental taxes and transfer taxes. The one day we are engaged in appeal procedures and court cases, and the next day we provide advice or assist in compliance with legislation. Our goal is to solve complex problems, often spanning several countries, by collaborating with our colleagues worldwide. Our clients are multinationals, large enterprises, family businesses, governments, and non-profit organisations.


As a (Senior) Consultant Indirect Tax Amsterdam, you will work in our international VAT practice. You will join a team of about 50 colleagues, consisting of partners, (senior) managers, (senior) consultants, interns and working students, and you will be part of the larger Indirect Tax Netherlands team.


Within the practice, we provide specialized tax advice, represent clients with the Tax Authorities and in tax procedures, take care of filings, offer courses, and support and guide everything related to Tax Control. In addition, we are very active in the field of Tax Technology.
