ITR Awards 2022 opens for submissions

ITR is pleased to announce the launch of the global ITR Awards research process.

As ever, the ITR Awards 2022 will recognise the best tax law firms and accountancies, in-house teams and practitioners across tax and transfer pricing globally.

The deadline for entries is March 9 2022. You are asked to upload your written submission via our dedicated portal:

• Submission form

• Client referee form

• Submission portal

Written submissions are a key part of ITR’s research for both the ITR Awards 2022 and the ITR World Tax rankings 2022/2023.

In-house teams will be invited to make nominations to the awards’ in-house categories at a later date. Submissions will be made available in mid-March, with a deadline of late April. Please keep an eye out for notifications and updates.

The submission forms are multi-purpose and will be used by our journalists and research teams to evaluate firms, teams and individuals for each of the three regional ITR Tax Awards 2022, as well as the ITR World Tax rankings.

If you submit a research form, it will be taken into consideration for both the awards and rankings. We have done this to streamline the research process so that no firm need provide multiple written submissions. We know that we ask much of you when we seek submissions during our awards process, and we attempt to keep the process simple.

Once submissions have been received, our team of editors, journalists and researchers will undertake thorough analysis of their content. In conjunction with ITR’s market knowledge, this will be used to inform final decisions. All decisions are made independently by the editorial team.

All categories, criteria and detailed methodologies can be found in the awards summaries below:

Please note, we may add or modify the award categories based on quantity and quality of submissions

ITR World Tax provides independent research and coverage of the world’s leading tax and transfer pricing firms and practitioners.

Produced in association with ITR, the research generates rankings that strive to accurately benchmark tax firms and practitioners against their peers in their markets. ITR World Tax also profiles the most effective tax and TP practitioners in the world, covering over 60 jurisdictions across every continent.

The ITR World Tax research is committed to growing and developing its research, and this year will be accepting submissions from the widest range of jurisdictions ever, across a wider breadth of practice areas than has previously been covered.

In this way, the research will produce detailed country-by-country ranking tables which reflect the nature of each market. The rankings are based on written evidence of tax matters undertaken during the review period, interviews with and polling of clients, and peer review.

Look out for our research webinar, which we will publish in January 2022. In this webinar we will talk about the form and how to maximise your participation in the research. We will also hold a Q&A session.

If you have any further questions about the ITR World Tax rankings process, please contact global editor Jon Moore.
