The ITR Americas Tax Awards have taken place annually since 2005 and recognise remarkable achievements and developments by international tax professionals from throughout the Americas over a 12-month period.
This year’s 17th annual awards seeks to celebrate the most impressive tax, transfer pricing, tax disputes, and indirect tax teams and practitioners in 15 jurisdictions throughout the region. The awards also recognise achievements in tax technology, innovation, policy, compliance and reporting, as well as diversity, equity, and inclusion.
Winners will be announced at our awards gala on September 22, 2022, at the Metropolitan Club of New York.
If you have any questions about the shortlist or research, please contact awards editors James Wilson and John Harrison.
