Senior Tax Specialist - EMEA

ABOUT JOB

As Senior Tax & Filings Specialist for EMEA, you are the statutory compliance

expert for Multiplier's

highest-priority European markets — the United Kingdom, Germany, and the

Netherlands. You own

every payroll tax filing, every statutory remittance, and every proof of payment

for these countries from

end to end. You are not a support function. You are the accountable expert.

You will be one of the founding members of a team being built from scratch as

part of Multiplier's Payroll

Centre of Excellence. This means real ownership, real visibility with

leadership, and the opportunity to

shape how statutory compliance is managed at a fast-growing global employment

platform.

Your day-to-day involves validating statutory calculations before payroll runs,

submitting PAYE RTI

returns to HMRC, filing ELSTER submissions to the German Finanzamt, managing

Dutch Loonheffingen

declarations to Belastingdienst, conducting three-way reconciliations after

every cycle, managing tax

notices when they arise, and staying continuously ahead of legislative changes

across your region.

If you are someone who cares deeply about getting statutory compliance right,

thrives on complexity,

and wants to work in an environment where your expertise genuinely matters —

this is the role for you.

While the Kep responsibilities will primary involve setting up the foundation

for the Taxes and

Filings vertical, it will also become your responsibility to convert this into

an auto pilot process,

where we ensure zero people driven activities and convert these into a highly

efficient process

driven vertical.

SKILLS & QUALIFICATION

• Statutory precision — you understand that in tax compliance, a 1% error rate

is not

acceptable. Your standard is zero errors, and you operate accordingly.

• Proactive mindset — you do not wait to be told about a legislative change.

You find it, assess its

impact, and act on it before anyone asks.

• Structured and process-driven — you follow the SOP, maintain the checklist,

and document

everything. You do not rely on memory or informal workarounds.

• Clear written communication — you can draft a response to an HMRC notice,

update a country

playbook, and brief a non-specialist stakeholder on a complex statutory issue

with equal clarity.

• Comfortable under pressure — payroll deadlines are non-negotiable, and you

thrive in

environments where that is understood.

• Collaborative — you work closely with Global Payroll Ops, EoR Ops, Finance,

and Legal, and you

communicate proactively when an issue crosses into their remit.

• Technical Skills

• Proficiency with HMRC's PAYE tools, RTI filing software, and HMRC Online

Services — direct

hands-on experience submitting RTI returns and managing PAYE liabilities.

• Experience with ELSTER online platform for German Lohnsteuer and social

insurance reporting.

• Familiarity with Dutch Belastingdienst online portal for Loonheffingen

submissions.

• Excel proficiency for reconciliation work — VLOOKUP, SUMIF, pivot tables,

cross-referencing

large payroll datasets.

• Experience with payroll software — ADP, Workday, SAP SuccessFactors, Ramco,

or equivalent

— particularly for statutory reporting exports.

• Familiarity with Zendesk or similar case management tools for notice and

escalation tracking.

• Nice to Have

• Experience working within a Centre of Excellence, shared services, or a

structured compliance

governance framework.

• Knowledge of additional EMEA markets — France (DSN, URSSAF), Spain

(Seguridad Social),

Ireland (PAYE Modernisation), Sweden, or UAE.

• Familiarity with EU Pay Transparency Directive requirements and their

payroll implications.

• Experience in an EoR, global employment platform, or HR technology company.

• Professional qualification in tax, payroll, or accounting — CIPP, ATT, CTA,

or equivalent preferred

but not required.

RESPONSIBILITIES

• Statutory Filing & Remittance

Own every filing and payment for EMEA Tier 1 countries — before every

deadline, without exception

• Prepare and submit all statutory payroll tax filings for the UK, Germany,

and Netherlands —

including PAYE RTI submissions to HMRC with every payroll run, monthly ELSTER

wage tax

submissions to the Finanzamt, and monthly Loonheffingen declarations to

Belastingdienst.

• Initiate, validate, and process all statutory remittances — PAYE and NI

payments to HMRC,

Lohnsteuer and Sozialversicherung contributions to German authorities, and

Dutch wage tax

payments — ensuring every payment is made before the statutory deadline.

• Manage UK workplace pension auto-enrolment contributions — validating

contribution amounts,

coordinating with pension providers, and ensuring all contributions are

remitted on time.

• Own the year-end statutory process for all three countries — P60 issuance

for UK employees (by

31 May), Lohnsteuerbescheinigung for German employees, and Jaaropgave for

Dutch employees

— coordinating with the Global Payroll Ops team for data and with in-country

consultants for

validation.

• Maintain an internal deadline that is at minimum 5 business days ahead of

every statutory

deadline — ensuring the team always has a buffer to resolve unexpected issues

without missing

regulatory cut-offs.

• Pre-Payroll Statutory Validation

Catch errors before they enter the payroll engine — not after

• Review all payroll inputs that have statutory implications before each

payroll run — bonuses

(supplemental tax treatment), termination payments (statutory redundancy tax

calculation in the

UK), ESOP vesting events, and off-cycle payments — flagging anything

requiring special statutory

treatment to the Global Payroll Ops team before the run begins.

• Validate statutory line items in the payroll register before the payroll

run is approved for payment

— income tax withholding amounts, National Insurance calculations, Lohnsteuer

withholding,

Sozialversicherung contributions, and Loonheffingen — ensuring every number

is correct before

the payroll proceeds.

• Apply HMRC RTI validation rules before each submission — checking for

National Insurance

number accuracy, tax code validity, and year-to-date data consistency to

avoid RTI rejection

errors.

• Monitor the UK Off-Payroll Working (IR35) rules for any EMEA contractors on

the EoR payroll —

flagging status determination queries to legal and the EoR Ops team before

they become

compliance issues.

• Three-Way Reconciliation & Audit Readiness

Financial integrity and permanent audit readiness — every cycle

• Complete a three-way reconciliation after every payroll cycle for all three

Tier 1 countries — cross-

matching payroll output, bank remittance records, and statutory filing totals

to ensure all three

align perfectly before the cycle is closed.

• Collect, validate, and upload all proof of statutory payment to the

structured repository within 2

business days of each payment — HMRC payment receipts, German Finanzamt

confirmation

numbers, and Belastingdienst payment acknowledgements — organised by country,

cycle, and

obligation type.

• Maintain the Notice Management Log for all EMEA notices — logging receipt

date, response

deadline, status, and resolution. Respond to all HMRC, Finanzamt, and

Belastingdienst notices

within 10 business days of receipt.

• Support external and internal audits by providing complete, accurate, and

well-organised statutory

documentation — ensuring no audit request takes more than 24 hours to respond

to.

• Legislative Monitoring & Country Playbooks

Know about regulatory changes before they affect the payroll

• Continuously monitor legislative changes across EMEA Tier 1 countries —

HMRC policy updates,

German Sozialversicherung rate announcements, Dutch Belastingdienst

regulatory publications

— and update the Country Statutory Playbook and internal processes before the

effective date of

any change.

• Stay ahead of the EU Pay Transparency Directive implementation (2026) —

assessing the

implications for Multiplier's EoR clients in Germany, Netherlands, and other

EU markets and

coordinating with the Functional Transformation team on required process

updates.

• Engage in-country tax consultants or legal experts for complex legislative

changes — particularly

in Germany (works council implications on payroll) and the UK (HMRC policy

consultations) —

and translate their guidance into actionable updates for the T&F and payroll

operations teams.

• EoR-Specific Compliance

As the legal employer, Multiplier carries full statutory responsibility — you

ensure it is met

• Manage all employer-side statutory registrations across EMEA Tier 1

countries — ensuring

Multiplier's legal entities are correctly registered with HMRC, Finanzamt,

Belastingdienst, and

social insurance authorities before the first employee in each country is

onboarded.

• Assess Permanent Establishment risk for EMEA EoR clients at onboarding —

working with legal

to ensure that employee activities in the UK, Germany, and Netherlands do not

inadvertently

create PE risk for clients, particularly for employees in revenue-generating

or contract-negotiating

roles.

• Manage all statutory obligations on EoR employee termination — UK P45

issuance, final pay tax

calculations, National Insurance deregistration, and German Abmeldung (social

insurance

deregistration) — ensuring all obligations are met within statutory

timelines.

Essential Experience

• 5 to 8 years of hands-on experience in payroll tax compliance, statutory

filings, or a payroll

operations role with direct statutory responsibility — specifically for UK,

German, or Dutch payroll.

• Deep, practical knowledge of at least two of the three Tier 1 EMEA

jurisdictions — PAYE RTI and

HMRC obligations (UK), ELSTER and Lohnsteuer/Sozialversicherung (Germany), or

Loonheffingen and Belastingdienst requirements (Netherlands). Knowledge of all

three is strongly

preferred.

• Direct experience preparing, submitting, and managing statutory payroll

filings — not just

overseeing them, but personally owning the process end to end.

• Experience managing statutory tax notices — drafting responses, coordinating

with regulatory

authorities, and resolving disputes within statutory timeframes.

• Demonstrated experience in multi-country payroll compliance — managing

multiple jurisdictions

simultaneously with different filing cadences and regulatory frameworks.

• Track record of meeting 100% of statutory deadlines in a high-volume,

fast-paced payroll

environment.
