What makes you think the developers have to "know tax law"?
It might be a peripheral plus for an applicant, but it's more important they are a competent programmer.
"Tax law" changes constantly - you truly cannot reasonably expect a developer to "know tax law" and be a competent programmer.
- chii 9y agoby "know tax law", I'd assume they mean the same thing as know react - that is, they have experience doing it previously.
- TheCoelacanth 9y ago"Know tax law" in the context of a software developer I would interpret as understanding the core concepts and terminology involved in tax law, not knowing all the intricacies involved in every single piece of tax law. They need to be able to understand the specific pieces of tax law that they are working on with the help of an actual expert without too much friction; they don't have to be actual experts on tax law.
