The role calls for careful legal and tax analysis, clear written reasoning and a good understanding of direct tax rules for individuals. Working in Luxembourg City, the successful candidates will join a team that deals with complex, sensitive cases and must meet high standards of accuracy, confidentiality and impartiality. The posts run until 30 September 2027 and are open to nationals of an EU member state.
