Petra Pleunis advises governments and health care organizations on all kinds of VAT-related issues. She helps clients manage risks and take advantage of tax opportunities and assists them with legal proceedings.
She studied fiscal economics at Erasmus University Rotterdam and has worked for EY since 2007. In addition to her work at EY, she is an instructor for the Dutch Association of Tax Advisors (NOB).
“I help organizations find their way through the maze of VAT rules. While doing so, I consider the process itself to be very important. As I teach them, I help clients understand VAT, manage risks, seize opportunities and streamline their processes. I also put a lot of energy into the relationship. With the client, within our team, and also with the Tax and Customs Administration. Together we seek sustainable solutions.”
How Petra is building a better working world
“By the age of fourteen, I already wanted to become a tax expert. My best friend's father was a tax adviser, and he told about his puzzling with the tax rules in a way that made it seem fascinating. In addition to the technical challenge of the work itself, I love building teams and helping my colleagues grow. Seeing someone realize they can do so much more than they thought. That's really great! With clients, too, I rely on their own strengths. I always emphasize the knowledge and capabilities they already have in-house.”
