Job Description

Role Purpose:

Provide high-quality regional tax operations and compliance support across AMEA & JANZ, spanning indirect tax, withholding tax and corporate tax compliance. The role enables accurate, timely and controlled tax reporting; supports local entities and regional tax leadership in meeting statutory obligations; and strengthens tax governance, data quality, process standardization and audit readiness.

The role works within Group Tax policies, Global Syngenta Standards (GSM), applicable local legislation and approved tax-control frameworks. It does not replace local legal accountability or external adviser responsibilities, but coordinates, prepares, reviews and escalates matters to enable compliant local execution.

Key Accountabilities:

1. Indirect Tax Compliance and Operations

• Manage and support VAT/GST, sales tax, customs-related and other indirect tax compliance activities for assigned entities, including return preparation, review support, filings, payments, reconciliations and statutory reporting.
• Support accurate indirect tax accounting, input-tax-credit / refund monitoring, tax-code validation and reconciliation of tax returns to general ledger, sub-ledger and source data.
• Identify recurring compliance issues, data gaps and process-control failures; coordinate remediation with Finance Operations, business teams, IT and local tax contacts.
• Support indirect tax registrations, de-registrations, periodic reporting and local authority correspondence, under the direction of the responsible tax manager.

2. Withholding Tax and Corporate Tax Compliance Support

• Support country teams and regional tax leadership with corporate income tax compliance calendars, tax-return data collection, computations and filing coordination for assigned entities.
• Prepare or review recurring tax compliance workpapers, including taxable-income bridges, tax adjustments, withholding tax support, tax-payment schedules and supporting reconciliations, in accordance with local requirements and defined review protocols.
