We’re looking for Review Officers to join our Penalties Review Teams in Newcastle. Here, you’ll get to put your strong decision making and communication skills to great use whilst adapting to varying business needs.
You’ll conduct statutory reviews on penalty appeals using a legal framework called the Litigation and Settlement Strategy, taking lots of factors into account, such as the penalty amount and the costs involved in any legal proceedings. We’ll ask you to produce accurate and timely review decisions based on the reasonable excuse submitted by customers and you’ll do this by interrogating HMRC held records, analysing them and making appropriate amendments. Full training will be provided so no previous experience is required.
