Are you curious about how tax regulations shape international business? Do you enjoy working with data, spotting details others might miss, and continuously expanding your knowledge?

As a VAT Intern, supporting VAT compliance and indirect tax processes will be second nature to you. You can analyze data, work efficiently with Excel (additionally, SAP knowledge is a plus), and contribute to accurate tax reporting, and have a keen eye for detail, strong organizational skills, and a basic understanding of EU VAT principles. On top of that, you're a proactive and analytical problem-solver who's always looking for opportunities to learn and develop.

Key requirements:

• Enrolled as a Bachelor's or Master's student in Tax Law, Fiscal Economics, Accounting, Finance, Tax specialization or a related field for the entire duration of the internship.

• For non-EU citizens, your university must sign a three-party agreement with Danone.
• Available to start in October 2026 for a minimum of 6 months, 4-5 days per week.
• Fluent in English (spoken and written).
• Able to work from our Hoofddorp office at least 2 days per week.
