Your new job | About your main responsibilities
You will be part of the Operational Tax Team, which operates at the forefront of regulatory change, helping clients respond to increasing demands for tax transparency and compliance in a global landscape.

We work with a broad range of clients in the financial sector, including banks, insurers, investment funds, (emerging) payment service providers, asset managers, FinTechs, and pension funds. Within the Operational Tax Team, you will advise and support these organizations on how to comply with complex tax transparency legislation and contribute to the implementation of practical, future‑proof solutions. You will also be involved in discussions with the Dutch Tax Authority and other relevant stakeholders to support alignment and compliance.

In addition, we have a strong and rapidly growing practice supporting operators of digital platforms that operate across multiple countries and industries. These clients rely on us to help them understand and comply with (new) international and domestic information reporting frameworks around income generated through digital platforms, such as DAC7 and other tax transparency regimes. These platform operators are active in a wide range of industries, including e‑commerce, travel and accommodation, transportation, and other gig and sharing economy sectors.

Looking ahead, our practice is expected to expand further with developments at the intersection of tax and technology. One key area of anticipated growth is crypto‑asset reporting and transparency, driven by new regulatory frameworks such as the OECD’s CARF (Crypto‑Asset Reporting Framework), the EU’s DAC8, and similar domestic initiatives. This evolution will further broaden the scope and complexity of our work and offers opportunities to take on increasing responsibility.

By delivering clear and practical solutions, we enable organizations to operate confidently across borders, adapt to evolving legislation, and contribute to greater transparency and integrity in the global economy. As a new joiner to the team, you will play an active role in this work while further developing your skills and expertise in an international and dynamic environment.

Your new team | About your colleagues and the office
The Operational Taxes Team focuses on tax transparency legislation and is unique within EY Netherlands due to its combination of deep tax expertise, consulting, and business transformation, supported by technology. The team’s primary focus is on financial institutions, digital platforms, fintechs, and the crypto industry, while also supporting the broader international EY network.

CTORS stands for Customer Tax and Operational Reporting Services and is a sub-service line within the Tax service line. The team advises EY clients on how to remain compliant with tax transparency legislation and supports them in meeting their obligations to report customer information to tax authorities, most commonly the Dutch Tax and Customs Administration.
