The Role Job Description This is a junior management position which offers an excellent opportunity to build a career in Revenue and to experience a wide variety of work, which may include the following: • Tax, excise and customs related audits and compliance work including the use of electronic audit techniques. • Working both individually and as part of a team to confront non-compliance. • Contributing to the development of tax and customs policy. • Advising on interpretation of taxation and customs law and practice. • Using data and statistical analysis to assist in risk identification. • Managing staff performance as required. Applicants should note that Revenue is a responsive and agile organisation and, as such, they may be assigned to projects and other duties appropriate to the role of Executive Officer in Tax, Audit and Compliance. Training and Development Revenue provides excellent opportunities for personal development and life-long learning. We have a wide range of roles across all aspects of the tax code with a commitment to mobility and development.

We sponsor and support many additional training courses including those leading to recognised qualifications. In addition to the bespoke technical training outlined below, Revenue offers a range of enhanced support for employees who wish to pursue professional qualifications in their relevant fields. These supports include a generous study leave allocation for attending lectures and preparing for exams, extra tutorials, and access to subject matter experts, as well as peer learning and support throughout the process.

Examples of practical elements of the programme may include: • Business taxes audit of both chargeable persons and companies. • Compliance interventions on PAYE taxpayers. • Investigative work to detect tax and duty evasion across all tax types. • Applying analytics to Revenue’s business, intelligence, and risk systems to detect compliance risks.

In this respect, Westmeath County Council provide for the employment of a short-listing process to select a group for interview who, based on an examination of the application forms, appear to be the most suitable for the position based on the specific competencies identified in the job description. An expert board will examine the application forms against a pre-determined criterion based on the requirements of the position. This is not to suggest that other candidates are necessarily unsuitable or incapable of undertaking the job, rather that there are some candidates, who based on their application, appear to be better qualified and/or have more relevant experience.

It is important, therefore, for you to note that the onus is on you to ensure that you meet the eligibility requirements for the competition before attending for interview. If you do not meet the essential entry requirement but nevertheless attend for interview you will be putting yourself to unnecessary expense. Prior to recommending any candidate for appointment to this position Westmeath County Council will make all such enquiries that are deemed necessary to determine the suitability of the candidate. 15. DEEMING OF CANDIDATE TO BE WITHDRAWN Candidates who do not attend for interview or other test when and where required by Westmeath County Council, or who do not, when requested, furnish such evidence as Westmeath County Council require in regard to any matter relevant to their candidature, will have no further claim to consideration. 15.
