An
Blum And Hofmeyr is looking for a tax technical research specialist to strengthen its withholding tax recovery work from Johannesburg. This permanent role suits a tax professional who enjoys deep research, precise analysis and turning complex treaty rules into clear advice for clients.
About the company and the work
Blum And Hofmeyr works in the tax recovery field, helping clients recover withholding tax across borders. The tax technical research specialist supports that work by researching international tax treaties, domestic tax laws and EU directives that are relevant to withholding tax reclaims, and by making sure the company’s technical methods stay sharp and defensible. Applications close on 29 December 2026, and the advert reference is #MH. Please note that the salary shown in the original advert header is R1,000 per month, which looks like a placeholder figure rather than a real salary; the salary field has therefore been left blank, and applicants should confirm the actual remuneration in the original advert before applying.
Role details and duties
The specialist conducts in-depth research on international tax treaties, domestic tax laws and EU directives relevant to withholding tax reclaims, and works closely with internal teams, including sales, client services and operations. The role involves partnering with external tax advisors and legal experts as needed to strengthen claims and address challenges, and identifying and implementing opportunities to refine the company’s technical methodologies. The specialist performs in-depth research on specific claim territories and integrates claim development findings into the existing business model to optimise the claim process. The work also includes reviewing claim documentation for certain complex cases on an ad-hoc basis, ensuring accuracy and compliance, providing expert technical guidance to current and prospective clients on withholding tax recovery strategies, handling tax office queries, and training and knowledge sharing.
Requirements
Applicants need an honours degree in accounting, taxation, law, finance or a related field, and a master’s degree is a plus. The advert calls for technical knowledge and a strong understanding of taxation principles, with a focus on double taxation treaties, together with analytical skills, teamwork, and attention to detail with a high level of accuracy in research, documentation and execution. Exceptional written and verbal communication skills are required, including the ability to translate technical information into clear guidance. No experience level label is stated in the advert.
Where to find and apply safely
This vacancy is advertised on Careers24, where the closing date is given as 29 December 2026. Apply through the original Careers24 listing using the Apply button below, which opens the employer’s original advert. Use only the official listing and be cautious of anyone asking for payment to secure a job, as legitimate employers do not charge jobseekers for applications.
Practical tips
Show your grounding in double taxation treaties and withholding tax clearly, with examples of research or claims work you have done, and describe how you have turned technical findings into advice that clients or colleagues could act on. If you hold a master’s degree or have worked on cross-border tax matters, highlight that, since both are relevant to this role. Accuracy matters here, so make sure your application is carefully written and free of errors.
How the process works
Applications go through the Careers24 listing to Blum And Hofmeyr, which reviews them against the stated requirements and contacts shortlisted candidates. The closing date is 29 December 2026, so applying well before then gives your application the best chance of being considered.
