The Role: Chief Executive
Location: Edinburgh
Salary: c.£80,000
Revenue Scotland, the new tax authority for Scotland’s devolved taxes, is seeking a Chief Executive with the drive and ambition to lead the organisation through an exciting period of consolidation and development as it oversees the collection of more than £500m per year to fund essential public services while building the capacity to collect further taxes in the future.
As the leader of Scotland’s tax administration body, the Chief Executive of Revenue Scotland will play a vital role in delivering Scotland’s tax vision. The position provides a unique opportunity to lead a modern, efficient public body as it administers the currently devolved taxes and prepares for the collection of new devolved taxes arising from the new Scotland Bill.
Revenue Scotland became an independent body on 1st January 2015. It sits within the Scottish Administration but remains separate from the Scottish Government. Along with administering Land and Buildings Transaction Tax and Scottish Landfill Tax, Revenue Scotland works closely with the Scottish Government on arrangements for any further tax collection.
