What you will do?

As an operator, you assess whether an employee is entitled to the 30% ruling and submit a request to the Tax and Customs Administration. You do this on the basis of information on an application form and the supporting documents that say something about the start of the employment contract, the specific expertise of the employee, the place of residence prior to employment in the Netherlands and previous periods of stay in the Netherlands. If a request is incomplete, or if the documentary evidence is insufficient, you contact the applicant for further information. On the basis of our own checklists, legislation and jurisprudence, you assess a number of requests every week. All operators/advisors are members of sub-teams in which you can discuss technical cases. An internal training of SOFI-expertise is an essential part of the onboarding process.

What you need for the job?

The most important thing is that you believe in the strength of collaboration and continuously develop yourself. In addition, it helps if you have knowledge of tax, employment law and or payroll regulations. Furthermore, it is an advantage if you are already involved in submitting 30% of applications from your university or institute where you work.
