European Tax Awards 2016 - the shortlist is out

The European Tax Awards have been a highlight of the social calendar since 2005. This year's event in London takes place with a dinner on Thursday, May 26 at the Savoy Hotel, and brings together the leading international tax and transfer pricing professionals from across Europe.

EUROPEAN TAX AWARDS 2016

Firms made submissions for work performed between January 1 2015 and December 31 2015. The awards were judged according to: 

• Size (Not conclusive, although it does indicate what a tax team is capable of taking on.)

• Innovation (Did the advice show something more than the straightforward answer that is commonly used?)

Complexity (Did the matter address tax issues that were out of the ordinary and what ingenuity did the firm show to solve them?)
