About the role
This interview looks at VAT as both a technical and an operational discipline. The panel wants to see how you establish the facts of a supply, reconcile transaction data, diagnose errors in systems and processes, and give advice that commercial teams can use safely.
How to prepare
- Review how you determine the nature, place and timing of a supply from the underlying facts.
- Prepare a VAT reconciliation example that traces a difference back to its source.
- Think through common tax-code, master-data, invoicing and evidence failures in transaction systems.
- Choose an advisory example where the commercial team needed an answer before all facts were available.
- Refresh how you verify uncertain rules using current official guidance for the relevant jurisdiction.
Common mistakes
- Deciding the VAT treatment from an invoice label without understanding the underlying supply.
- Assuming a return is correct because it agrees to the tax ledger.
- Correcting historic entries without fixing the tax logic or process that created them.
- Giving a definitive answer when key contract, evidence or jurisdiction facts are still missing.
