The ITR Asia Tax Awards recognise remarkable achievements and developments by international tax professionals from the Asia-Pacific (APAC) region over a 12-month period.
Aside from the national awards in 18 jurisdictions, there are also awards in regional, individual and in-house categories for the best performers.
Because of the COVID-19 pandemic, this year’s winners of the Asia Tax Awards will be announced and published online on August 26 at 10am BST, accompanied by a podcast on the most notable winners and key trends.
ITR’s head of business development James Murray will contact firms and individuals in due course.
If you have any questions about the shortlist or research, please contact our team at editorial@internationaltaxreview.com. For the deals and cases awards, we strive to mention all the firms that took part in each deal. If your firm has been omitted, please contact ITR's editorial team.
Our thoughts are with our readers and others affected by the pandemic.
