· Ensure that required local tax documentation is current and properly maintained, including RUC information, withholding certificates (constancias), detracción/percepción documentation, and vendor/customer tax records.
· Monitor and apply detracción, retención, and percepción regimes, ensuring correct application, reconciliation, and reporting.
· Monitor changes in Peruvian tax legislation and SUNAT guidance, communicate impacts to finance and management, and support updates to procedures and controls.
· Facilitate and manage the collection and validation of financial and tax data required to complete local tax returns and to support Group level and US tax reporting (as applicable).
· Support tax compliance related to PLE submissions and non-domiciled suppliers, including reconciliations, withholding tax analysis, and required supporting documentation.
· Undertake additional accounting, finance, and other related duties as required to support local operations and Group reporting objectives.
Perform general finance analysis and reporting, and support other finance and commercial analysis activities as required to meet local and Group objectives
What You'll Need?
· Bachelor’s degree in Accounting, or a related field.
· Professional tax or accounting certification in Peru (Colegiatura / Contador Público Colegiado) is preferred.
· 6+ years of experience in a tax compliance or accounting role, ideally within a multinational or shared services environment.
· Strong working knowledge of Peruvian tax regulations, including income tax, IGV (VAT), withholding taxes, and SUNAT compliance requirements.
