Executive Officer
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. Technical Training Executive Officers will be required to complete Revenue’s audit training programme. This includes practical training carrying out Revenue interventions; and may include an academic qualification on a course accredited by a recognised academic institution and/ or professional body, on which you will be required to successfully complete all relevant exams and course work.

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.
