Tax Analyst

About the Role Group is a leading global travel service provider with a growing international footprint. As we expand our operations across markets, our tax function plays an increasingly important role in ensuring compliance and supporting business growth. We are looking for a Tax Analyst to join our Shanghai-based tax team and provide hands-on support to the International Tax Manager. This role is ideal for a tax professional who brings solid foundational knowledge, a proactive mindset, and the energy to grow in a dynamic, cross-functional environment. We believe that the right attitude and work ethic matter just as much as technical credentials. If you are someone who takes ownership, stays resilient under pressure, seeks continuous personal growth and brings genuine enthusiasm to your work, we want to hear from you. Key Responsibilities Tax Compliance & Reporting • Assist in the preparation and review of tax filings, including direct tax (corporate income tax, withholding tax) and indirect tax (VAT/GST) returns. • Support the maintenance of tax records and documentation to ensure compliance with local and applicable cross-border tax requirements. • Monitor filing deadlines and coordinate with internal finance teams and external advisors to meet obligations on time. Tax Research & Analysis • Conduct research on tax regulations, legislative changes, and industry practices relevant to the company's operations. • Summarize and communicate findings clearly to team members and relevant stakeholders. • Assist in identifying potential tax risks and opportunities in day-to-day business operations. Business & Operational Support • Collaborate with commercial, finance, and product teams to provide practical tax input on transactions and business activities. • Support the International Tax Manager in reviewing new business initiatives, contracts, and market expansions from a tax perspective. • Assist in preparing materials for internal stakeholder communications and management reporting. Data & Process Management • Collect and organize tax-relevant data from internal systems to support calculations, reporting, and analysis. • Contribute to the development and improvement of tax workflows, tools, and internal processes. • Assist with special projects, including tax provisions, transfer pricing documentation support, and regulatory inquiries. Qualifications & Experience Experience • 4-5 years of tax experience, in either a corporate in-house tax team, public accounting firm, or tax advisory practice. • Demonstrated experience in direct tax (corporate income tax, withholding tax) and/or indirect tax (VAT/GST) compliance. • International tax exposure is a plus but not required — we welcome candidates with strong domestic tax backgrounds who are eager to grow their international knowledge. Tax Knowledge • Solid understanding of direct tax principles, including corporate income tax and withholding tax concepts. • Familiarity with indirect tax fundamentals (VAT/GST), including basic compliance and input/output tax mechanics. • Ability to independently read tax laws, regulations, and guidance documents and apply them to practical situations. What We Value Most • Proactive attitude: You take initiative, anticipate needs, and follow through without waiting to be told. • Resilience: You stay composed and solution-focused when deadlines are tight or issues are complex. • Positive working attitude: You bring energy and optimism to the team, even during challenging periods. • Learning agility: You are honest about what you don't know and take active steps to grow your knowledge quickly. • Collaborative spirit: You work well with cross-functional teams and communicate clearly with both finance and non-finance stakeholders. • Proficiency in English (written and verbal) for communication with international stakeholders. Nice to Have • Exposure to international or cross-border tax matters (e.g., transfer pricing, withholding tax treaties, or APAC/EU/US tax rules). • Professional qualification such as CPA, ACCA, or Certified Tax Agent.
