ITR: Andersen is once again the Tax Firm of the Year in Hungary
Tax advisor firm and recent BCCH member, Andersen in Hungary is pleased to announce to be the best performing Hungarian tax advisor according to the assessment of the prestigious international tax magazine, the International Tax Review. For the second year in a row, Andersen has earned the highest professional accolade of the year, while also collecting the Indirect Tax Firm of the Year award.
Founded in 1989, the International Tax Review (ITR), one of the world’s leading tax journals, has awarded Europe’s best tax advisory service companies for the 18th time. A jury of ITR’s editors and experts ranked the candidates’ performance in several categories, based on the volume and complexity of the tasks they had completed during the period, the innovative nature of their implementation and feedback from clients.
This year, ITR has ranked Hungarian tax advisory firms in four categories, i.e. in addition to the top “Tax Firm of the Year”, in three other categories (transfer pricing, VAT and tax litigation adviser). Andersen was among the best in all of them, which only Deloitte managed to achieve. It is a great recognition that in Hungary, the jury also awarded the title of Hungary Indirect Tax Firm of the Year to the firm, so Andersen won two of the four awards.
ITR has ranked the overall performance of Andersen’s offices in the TOP5 in the field of indirect taxation (mainly VAT) at European level. This demonstrates that Andersen’s Hungarian VAT advisory department is backed by a very strong international network that is able to offer clients the best solutions to cross-border VAT problems.
The ITR also recognized the outstanding work of Bence Barta, head of the firm’s VAT service line, by making him one of the seven European tax advisers nominated for the Indirect Tax Rising Star title in 2022. This is a huge achievement, especially in light of the fact that this is the only category in which a Hungarian tax advisor was nominated at all out of the 76 candidates.
Managing partner of Andersen in Hungary, Károly Radnai says “Winning the most prestigious international award in the tax profession last year was not just a one-off flash in the pan. By being named the best Hungarian tax advisory firm by the ITR for two consecutive years, we have proven that we are able to maintain this high level of professionalism in our work. In all segments of the tax advisory work, in all areas of expertise, we are a serious competitor to the biggest players, as the Indirect Tax Firm of the Year award confirms”.
