| Message from the chair of the judges |
|
So, we’re back again after another year, a year that was certainly challenging and involved painful decisions for some companies and firms. But the increased attendance at the Taxation Awards, and a stronger-than-ever set of entries, shows our profession has come through hard times and is ready to serve clients as their businesses start to grow again. A new government means a new look at the principles and practice of tax. Clients will rely more than ever on their advisers to help them understand changes to legislation, case law and practice, and the awards’ shortlisted teams and individuals have been selected by the judges as illustrating the best in innovation, client service and dedication to our profession. As always, the judges had the unenviable task of trying to pick the best from a very high-quality field. That involved not just a full day of discussion but also a lot of advance reading, and I thank them very warmly on your behalf for all their hard work. Not all judges participated in all decisions, in order to avoid any conflicts of interest. There will, again, be a short report from me as chair of the judging panel, giving general advice for entrants drawn from the discussions on the judging day. That and the annual winners’ booklet are the only information we release about the judging process. Prospective entrants for next year can be reassured we take the confidentiality of your entries very seriously. Finally, but most importantly, congratulations to all those who made it through to the final shortlist. To get that far is to know you were counted among the best by your peers. Mike Truman, chair of the judging panel and editor of Taxation |
