Senior Tax Specialist - EMEA
MultiplierAbout the role
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
