Tax Analyst

Direct / Indirect Tax

Function: Global Tax / Finance

Reports to: Indirect Tax Manager (functional dotted line to the Head of Tax)

Team: Small in-house tax team, working with external tax consultants and regional advisors

We are looking for a Tax Analyst to support day-to-day tax operations across indirect tax (GST/VAT) and direct tax (income tax, TDS, transfer pricing support). You will prepare data, perform reconciliations, maintain trackers, and support the audits and notices that external consultants and the in-house team handle. This is a hands-on role and a robust starting point for a career in corporate tax, with exposure to both direct and indirect tax and to international tax practices.

Data and Reconciliations

Extract and clean data from ERP, billing and accounting systems for tax reporting.

Prepare monthly reconciliations: GST books vs. GSTR-2B/GSTR-1, TDS/TCS ledgers vs. returns, and tax payable and receivable balances.

Follow up on mismatches with Finance, Accounts Payable and vendors, and track them to closure.





Prepare working papers and supporting data for returns filed by consultants (GST, TDS, advance tax, and similar).

Maintain the tax compliance calendar and ensure data is shared with consultants on time.

Support APAC/EU indirect tax data requests from advisors.

Collate documents and data for tax audits, departmental queries, notices, and refund claims.

Maintain files and an audit-ready folder structure for tax filings and positions.

Prepare monthly MIS and dashboards: filing status, ITC and refund status, open items, and aging.

Support the finance close with tax provision workings and reconciliations.

Help document SOPs and checklists.

Assist with testing tax codes and configuration in the ERP/billing system and e-invoicing exception checks.

Identify repetitive tasks that can be automated using Excel or other tools.

Graduate in Commerce (B.Com / M.Com / BBA-Finance), or CA Inter / CMA Inter, or equivalent. CA-qualified or ongoing candidates are welcome.

1-3 years of experience in taxation, accounting, or a CA/consulting firm (freshers with strong fundamentals and articleship experience may also be considered).

Working knowledge of GST and TDS basics.

Good Excel skills (lookups, pivots, data cleanup, basic formulas).

Exposure to income tax, advance tax, or tax audit schedules.

Experience with ERP systems (SAP / Oracle / NetSuite / Tally) and the GST portal.

Knowledge of e-invoicing and vendor reconciliation processes.

Exposure to IT/ITeS, software, or export-oriented businesses.

Familiarity with Power Query, Power BI, or basic automation.

Willingness to learn across direct and indirect tax and across geographies.

Monthly reconciliations completed within agreed timelines, with a clean exception list.

Data and documents shared with consultants on time for every filing.

Demonstrated ability to handle one area (for example GST reconciliation or TDS) independently by month 12.
