Job description

Working directly to the Policy Lead for Current Taxes , the Senior Policy Advisor will play a key role in supporting the purpose of the WRAs Strategy & Policy team. The team provides advice and support on complex tax cases, develops policy and guidance on operational and tax technical issues, and works in partnership with the Welsh Treasury to advise on strategic and administrative aspects of the system of devolved taxes in Wales. The team also establishes lawful and proportionate compliance, litigation and enforcement strategies based on WRAs civil and criminal enforcement powers.

The Senior Policy Advisor will need to be a great team player, possess strong analytical skills and enjoy working with others to find innovative solutions to complex tax technical problems across the WRA-collected taxes.The postholder will also need to develop a detailed understanding of the tax landscape in Wales, working closely with partners across government to support policy management and development.

Your initial focus will be policy development supporting implementation of the visitor levy in Wales, together with national registration of visitor holiday accommodation. This is an exciting opportunity to be part of a new project for the WRA, advising on a completely new tax and establishing new ways of working with our partners and stakeholders.

To be successful in the role, they will need to enjoy engaging with a diverse network of stakeholders, tracking developments in taxation and wider policy areas. They will need to be confident in communicating both high-level strategy and detailed technical matters and advice clearly and simply to a range of audiences.

The work of the Tax Strategy & Policy team varies according to emerging issues and trends, delivery of WRA priorities and wider Welsh Government strategy for the devolved taxes in Wales. We are looking for an individual who can work flexibly and collaboratively to resolve uncertainty, and to develop robust solutions to challenging issues. To enjoy the role, they will appreciate that there is much to do, and that the role will change over time as we support Welsh Government with the implementation of its Programme for Government.

"This is an opportunity to join a small team with a wide reach. As the WRA is still a young organisation there is a genuine opportunity to influence and shape our direction across a range of policy areas. You will work collaboratively with all of our teams, and the breadth and variety of the role is exciting: you can provide advice to operational colleagues on the application of tax legislation one day and explore changes to tax policy with wider Welsh Government the next."
