Indirect Taxpayer Compliance Risk Expert

Key Responsibilities

Risk Identification & Profiling

• Monitors indirect tax risk indicators using statistical models, behavioral analytics, and sector-based analysis.
• Assesses cross-border and international risks (e.g., treaty misuse, transfer-pricing mismatches, complex structures) and flags high-exposure segments.
• Quantifies estimated revenue at risk, tax-gap components, and affected taxpayer volumes by risk theme, sector, and behavior to support prioritization.

Model Development & Analytics

• Oversees and finalizes the development and calibration of risk-scoring rules, anomaly checks, and selection logic, leveraging returns, third-party, and customs data where available.
• Validates model performance (precision/recall, conversion to action, sustain rate) and refines variables, thresholds, and features accordingly.
• Designs targeted heuristics for high-risk behaviors (e.g., rapid refund cycling, chain breaks, unusual zero-rating patterns).

Case Selection & Targeting

• Prepares taxpayer target lists with rationale, risk narratives, indicative exposures, and recommended treatments (audit, verification, outreach).
• Coordinates with Indirect Tax Audit teams to align scope, and objectives for each case.
• Tracks treatment outcomes to improve selection logic and inform future campaigns.

Insights, Reporting & Recommendations

• Produces periodic risk briefs and dashboards summarizing emerging risks, methods used, expected fiscal impact, and affected taxpayer numbers.
• Recommends risk-mitigation measures (e.g., targeted controls, focused audits, procedural enhancements, legislative clarifications).
• Highlights sector patterns and common error themes to guide education and service messaging.

Data, Tools & Enablement

• Supports IT and data teams in designing datasets, quality checks, and analytics tools that enable scalable risk detection.
• Defines data requirements, metadata, and governance standards for risk models and ensures version control and auditability.
• Contributes to user stories, testing, and rollout of analytics products used by risk and audit teams.

Collaboration & External Coordination

• Works with Legal Affairs, Policy & Legislation, and Audit on complex technical risk topics and evidence sufficiency.
• Participates in information-exchange forums and multi-disciplinary platforms with GCC and international counterparts, as appropriate.
• Coordinates with competent national authorities on risk themes requiring cross-jurisdictional cooperation.
