ITR APAC Tax Awards 2024: shortlist announced

ITR Asia-Pacific Tax Awards 2024 logo

ITR is delighted to reveal all the shortlisted nominees for the 2024 Asia-Pacific Tax Awards

The ITR APAC Tax Awards have taken place annually since its inception in 2005 and recognise the remarkable achievements and developments by tax professionals from throughout the Asia-Pacific region over a 12-month period.

This year’s 20th annual awards aim to celebrate the most impressive tax, transfer pricing (TP), tax disputes, and indirect tax teams and practitioners across 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.

After careful consideration and discussion with firms from across the region, the awards have updated how we recognise firms for their leadership in tax and TP. Where possible, we have split advisory firms and law firms into separate categories, based on the submissions we received and our team's research.

This year the winners will be announced at our awards gala on September 18 2024 at the Leonardo Royal Hotel Tower Bridge in London, alongside their peers from the EMEA region.

For more information about how your firm can participate at the awards gala, please contact Raquel Ipo.


Without further ado the 2024 finalists are ...
