VAT Compliance & Reporting
- Extract and prepare transaction data from NetSuite. This data will be used to create periodic VAT returns, EC Sales Listings (ECSL), and indirect tax filings. These filings will include EMEA and LATAM jurisdictions. This includes Brazil, Costa Rica, and Mexico. Validate each dataset against local regulations before submission.
- Drive timely, precise return submissions in partnership with our third-party tax vendor, acting as an internal contact for data, queries, and critical issues.
- Build submission packages. These packages include supporting schedules. They include reconciliations and sign-off documentation as well. They must meet filing requirements and internal audit standards.
- Forecast VAT cash requirements across jurisdictions in partnership with Treasury, so funding is in place well ahead of payment deadlines.
- Complete monthly and quarterly reconciliations between VAT returns and the general ledger, digging into discrepancies with finance and AP/AR teams until every item is resolved.
- Post indirect tax journal entries — accruals, reversals, and adjustments — with complete documentation that holds up under SOX and external audit review.
- Maintain organised, audit-ready records across assigned filings, so any examiner can trace every number back to source.
- Initiate VAT bank payments on schedule, allocate them properly, and track confirmations to close out each filing cycle.
- Lead responses to VAT audits and tax authority inquiries, coordinating data pulls and handling external advisors.
- 1–2 years of indirect tax compliance experience, with exposure to VAT or indirect tax filings — EMEA and LATAM experience is a plus but not required.
- Solid comprehension of indirect tax concepts and a willingness to learn how rules vary across the jurisdictions in scope.
- Advanced Excel skills and experience redefining large ERP data extracts into clean, filing-ready datasets.
- Hands-on experience with NetSuite or a comparable ERP system.
- Clear written and verbal English communication skills for a global, remote-first finance team.
- Proven track record to stay organised and deliver correctness, timely work across multiple jurisdictions and filing cycles.
- Experience with OSS, e-invoicing mandates, or emerging EMEA VAT compliance schemes.
- Background in a multinational technology or SaaS company.
- Exposure to indirect tax regimes outside EMEA, such as India GST or US sales tax.
