If you would like us to use your World Tax and Transfer Pricing submissions for the Awards, please specify this in an email to us.

do not correspond exactly to the information we request for the directories. You should fill out the entry form concerned if you wish to be considered for these awards.

If your firm worked on any aspect, on whatever side, of the winning transaction in each of the 12 deal categories, it will win for being part of the transaction and receive its own award.

There will be a shortlist of at least three transactions for each of the deal awards. No confidential planning or structuring information, will be announced. 

A short citation about each of the national tax and transfer pricing winners will also be read out at the awards dinner, but no confidential information will be disclosed. 

As in previous years, the awards’ research process will be based on submissions from firms in private practice and in-house tax teams. The shortlists and winners will be selected after further research by International Tax Review and TPWeek journalists with clients and practitioners.

For any matter to be eligible, it must have concluded by May 31 2017.

Criteria and nominations

The Americas Tax Awards are based on size, innovation, complexity and impact; we are only interested in transactions, planning or cases that break new ground and set market precedents. All matters submitted must have a cross-border element.

Nominations will be announced on this website at the end of July.

Please contact Anjana Hainesif you have any questions about the research process. And if you wish to attend the awards, please get in touch with Paul Ptaschne.
