The awards for European Tax Firm of the Year, European
Transfer Pricing Firm of the Year, US Tax Firm of the Year
in Europe and Best Newcomer (international tax practices of
<5 years) will be judged from these submissions.
There are separate submission forms for the European
regional awards covering tax disputes, indirect tax, tax
compliance and reporting, innovation and tax
technology.
The awards will be judged according to:
- Size (Not conclusive,
though it does indicate what a tax team is capable of
taking on);
- Innovation (Did the
advice the firm gave show something more than the
straightforward answer that is commonly used? Did the
matter address tax issues that were out of the ordinary
and what ingenuity did the firm show to solve them?);
and
- Impact (What effect
did the matter have on the client's business? Was it
transformative? What has the conclusion of the matter
enabled the client to achieve?)
