The ITR APAC Tax Awards was established in 2005 to commend tax professionals and their practice accomplishments over a 12-month timescale.
This year’s 21st annual awards will highlight the most distinguished tax and transfer pricing teams across 15 jurisdictions. Recognition will also celebrate tax technology innovation and compliance, alongside diversity, equity and inclusion.
Our ITR awards methodology will maintain a shortlist division between advisory and law firms to reflect market dynamics accurately. This delineation is subject to the required submission volume and research data.
APAC winners will be recognised alongside their EMEA peers on September 18, 2025 at the Londoner in Leicester Square, London.
For more information about how your firm can participate at the awards gala, please contact Raquel Ipo.
Without further ado the 2025 finalists are ...
