Fonction – Support the commercial activities of the bank

Taxation is an integral part of banking.   It relates both to the bank’s obligations as a taxpayer (company tax, VAT, bank taxes) and to the collection of taxes for customers (withholding tax, tax on securities accounts, tax on stock exchange transactions, etc.). The bank must also ensure that its customers are properly informed about the tax implications of the products and services it offers them.

As a tax expert, you will join a team of high-calibre tax experts with a dual mission: to ensure that the bank complies with its tax obligations and to support commercial activity.
