EUROPEAN TAX AWARDS 2012 – WINNERS
Firms made submissions for work done between January 1 2011 and December 31 2011.
The awards will be judged according to:
•Size (Not conclusive, though it does indicate what a tax team is capable of taking on)
•Innovation (Did the advice the firm gave show something more than the straightforward answer that is commonly used?)
•Complexity (Did the matter address tax issues that were out of the ordinary and what ingenuity did the firm show to solve them?)
