At some locations, we also have Ung i Skatt, which is a social meeting place for our younger employees. You get challenging tasks, a great professional environment and good development opportunities. You get good support from committed managers and sponsors, as we want you to succeed. IT in the Swedish Tax Agency has one of Norway's largest IT environments with over 1,300 permanent employees.

Worth noting before you apply We are more concerned with what you can do, your experiences and competence than how good you are at writing a job application. Therefore, we ask you to submit a good and descriptive CV where you highlight what you have done and achieved that makes you qualified for the position you are applying for. You therefore do not need to write or attach an application letter. We want you to feel confident in your choice when you agree to work with us.

Equality, equality and diversity are part of our culture and we have zero tolerance for discriminatory practices and behaviour. If you have gaps in your CV, a disability or an immigrant background, we encourage you to tick this off when you apply for the position with us. It gives you the opportunity to get preferential treatment. We always call at least one qualified candidate from each of these groups for an interview. When you apply for a job with us, your name will be on a public applicant list. It is possible to request to be excluded from this applicant list. In that case, you must justify why you want it, and we will then decide whether we can grant your wish. If we can't, you will of course hear from us.
