Indirect Tax Leaders

The comprehensive guide to the world’s leading indirect tax advisers

______

Who are the leading indirect tax advisers in the world? Nominate now.

The global shift from direct towards indirect taxation continues, with VAT rates surging to a high of 21.6% in EU member states today (rising from a 2008 average of 19.5%), while the shift is also marked by governments devising new levies on health products and e-commerce.

More than 160 countries now have a VAT in place, and recent legislative changes including new rules governing the place of supply for e-services in Europe are throwing up more work for taxpayers and advisers.

Add to this the impending implementation of VAT/GST for the first time in countries like Puerto Rico and Malaysia, and similar levies on the horizon in countries including India, this trend is not disappearing, even if the pace of change is showing signs of slowing down.

But with VAT rates rising year-on-year since the global financial crisis, and governments increasingly looking to implement new indirect tax measures to stimulate their economies, the indirect tax advice taxpayers receive is more important than ever.

For the fourth year running, International Tax Review is compiling a guide to the world’s leading indirect tax advisers to help clients grappling with changing legislation, new taxes and increaslingly complex indirect tax challenges. We invite you to take part in the research process.
