About the Job

Language Specialist, Indirect Tax

KPMG Delivery Network Malaysia | ASPAC Compliance Delivery Centre

About KPMG Delivery Network Malaysia

KPMG Delivery Network (KDN) brings together specialist talent, technology and standardized processes to support KPMG member firms and multinational clients through a connected regional delivery model.

Based in Kuala Lumpur, KDN’s ASPAC Compliance Delivery Centre (ACDC) is a culturally diverse team providing end-to-end tax compliance support across the Asia Pacific region. The center combines technical expertise, technology, automation, and robust processes to deliver consistent and high-quality services.

About the Role

As a Language Specialist, Indirect Tax, you will combine your language proficiency with tax, accounting and analytical capabilities to support Indirect Tax compliance engagements for multinational clients.

You will prepare and review VAT, withholding tax, and other Indirect Tax-related reports based on jurisdiction-specific requirements. Your language skills will also support the accurate interpretation of local-language documents, client information, and correspondence.

This is not a general translation role. It is an opportunity to build specialized expertise at the intersection of language, Indirect Tax, data and technology, while collaborating with KPMG member firms, clients and stakeholders across regional markets.

Why This Role Stands Out

• Combine language and tax expertise

Apply your language capabilities in a professional tax environment while developing practical knowledge of VAT, withholding tax and statutory compliance.

• Gain regional exposure

Support multinational clients and KPMG member firms across different markets, tax requirements and business environments.

• Make meaningful use of your language skills

Support the interpretation of local-language documents, technical instructions, client information and business correspondence.

• Build technology-enabled tax capabilities

Gain experience with digital platforms, automation tools, structured data and processes transforming global tax compliance delivery.

• Grow through collaboration and learning

Work with a culturally diverse team and develop your technical, analytical and stakeholder-management capabilities through practical assignments and coaching

Key Responsibilities

• Prepare VAT, withholding tax and other Indirect Tax-related reports in accordance with jurisdiction-specific guidance and established procedures.

• Collect, organize and analyse financial and transactional data required for tax reporting and compliance submissions.
• Communicate with KPMG member firms, clients and internal stakeholders to clarify requirements and resolve information gaps.
• Support Managers and Senior Managers during client meetings and engagement-related discussions, where required.
• Assist with the transition and onboarding of new clients, including understanding documentation, processes and reporting timelines.
• Develop proficiency in the technology platforms and tools used for Indirect Tax compliance.
• Identify opportunities to improve process effectiveness through standardisation, automation and technology.
• Maintain appropriate working documentation and comply with established quality, confidentiality and risk-management requirements.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Accounting, Finance, Economics, Business, Taxation, Engineering, Computer Science, Data Science or a related field.
• Fresh graduates with strong language proficiency and an interest in developing a career in tax compliance are encouraged to apply.
• Relevant experience in tax compliance, accounting, finance, shared services, reporting or data analysis would be an advantage.
• Exposure to VAT, GST, withholding tax, sales and service tax or other Indirect Tax areas would be beneficial.
• Strong written and spoken English.
• Strong written and verbal proficiency in at least one required regional language, with current priority given to:
• Thai
