Islamabad, Islamabad, Pakistan beBeeTax Full time $60,000 - $80,000

The REMIT programme is a 39-months initiative funded by the UK's Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO) and implemented by Adam Smith International (ASI). The program aims to strengthen macroeconomic stability and improve conditions for high and sustained growth, mutual prosperity, job creation and poverty reduction in Pakistan.

To optimize Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) operational effectiveness, the programme has undertaken the development of comprehensive procedural manuals. These guidelines/manuals cover crucial FBR processes such as voluntary and compulsory registrations, return enforcement, conduct of audits, processing of refunds and exemption certificates, penalty proceedings, on-field inspections and record impounding, investigative audits, monitoring of sales at business premises, and arrest and prosecution proceedings.

The Tax and Quality Assurance Expert will oversee the development of these procedural manuals to ensure they remain aligned with tax laws, regulatory requirements, and FBR's business priorities. The expert will conduct thorough reviews, validate technical accuracy, and support the enhancement of manuals' clarity, consistency, and usability to guarantee high-quality output.

Key Responsibilities:
  • Collaborate with the vendor hired by REMIT to develop manuals that align with FBR priorities
  • Verify manual content against current Pakistani tax laws, including rules, SROs, circulars, and amendments
  • Identify and report discrepancies, omissions, or misinterpretations of tax laws and FBR regulations within the manuals
  • Ensure technical accuracy of procedural steps in light of other laws in force in the country
  • Confirm completeness of each procedure, including necessary steps, scenarios, and exceptions
  • Evaluate clarity, conciseness, and user-friendliness of language used
  • Assess logical flow and practical applicability of procedures for real-world operations of FBR
  • Ensure consistency in terminology, formatting, and presentation throughout all manuals
  • Suggest improvements for process efficiency and identify potential procedural gaps or weaknesses
Requirements:
  • Minimum 10 years of relevant experience, particularly with tax authorities, donor-funded projects, or public sector reforms
  • In-depth understanding of domestic tax laws and regulations (income tax, sales tax/VAT, federal excise, etc.)
  • Familiarity with taxpayer services, registration, filing, audit, assessment, recovery, and appeals processes
  • Experience with international best practices in tax procedure standardisation
  • Knowledge of workflow mapping, process reengineering, and documentation standards
  • Expertise in quality assurance methodologies for documentation
  • Ability to assess manuals for internal consistency, completeness, legal alignment, usability, and risk identification
Benefits:

This role contributes to ensuring value for money, mitigating risks, and facilitating approval of final outputs by FBR.

The ideal candidate will have excellent interpersonal skills to facilitate effective communication with different stakeholders and deliver effective training.

This position offers an opportunity to work on a challenging project that can positively impact the revenue mobilization efforts of the Federal Board of Revenue (FBR).
