Job Description
International Tax Consultant – Global VAT Team
Johannesburg North | Office-based
We’re recruiting an International Tax Consultant to join a high-performing Global VAT team supporting international clients across multiple jurisdictions. This is a role for someone who lives and breathes tax, enjoys complex cross-border VAT work, and is confident engaging with stakeholders globally.
This is not a general accounting role and not a CA(SA) track position. We are looking for a career tax specialist with strong academic grounding in taxation and a genuine interest in international VAT.
The role
You’ll work closely with senior VAT specialists and international counterparts on EU and cross-border VAT matters, including:
- International and EU VAT advisory and compliance
- Cross-border transactions and VAT structuring
- Interacting with global teams, clients, and tax authorities
- Applying VAT legislation in practical, real-world scenarios
- Contributing to a collaborative, internationally focused VAT environment
What we’re looking for
We’re intentionally targeting tax-first professionals with the right academic and practical foundation:
- BCom Taxation (essential)
- Honours and/or Master’s in Taxation (highly advantageous)
- Experience or exposure to international VAT / EU VAT
- Strong technical understanding of VAT principles and legislation
- Confident communicator who can engage professionally across cultures and borders
- Curious, commercially aware, and able to think beyond “tick-box compliance”
What will set you apart
- Exposure to EU VAT frameworks
- Experience working with or alongside global VAT teams
- A professional, personable style – someone who can represent the business internationally
Why consider this role?
- Work in a true global VAT environment
- Learn from senior specialists with deep EU VAT expertise
- Build a long-term career in international taxation, not general accounting
- Join a team that values technical depth and strong interpersonal skills
Availability: As soon as possible/negotiable
Interested?
If international VAT is where you see your long-term career, we’d love to hear from you. Apply directly or reach out for a confidential discussion.
