ITR European Tax Awards nominates Pepeliaev Group in several categories

ITR European Tax Awards has included Pepeliaev Group in the nominations in four categories for the year 2014.

Pepeliaev Group will contest the awards for best Russian tax firm and the best adviser in the field of transfer pricing. In addition, Pepeliaev Group, together with a number of other companies, features in the "Best European Indirect Tax Adviser" category.

The production sharing agreement drafted by Pepeliaev Group for the Russian Ministry of Energy and setting a special tax regime for investors developing the Khvalynsk deposit, has been nominated in the category "European energy transaction of the year".

Those compiling the ratings have taken into consideration several aspects: the number of the team members involved in working on the draft (the organisers point out that this is an important factor but not the decisive one), how innovative the project was (whether the team was able to suggest in its advice new solutions for typical problems), the complexity of the task and creativeness in handling it.

Taxand, an association which unites the leading global tax advisers (and represented by Pepeliaev Group in Russia) has been nominated in 31 categories this year, which is a record number in the history of the association.
The ITR award ceremony will take place in London on 21 May 2014.
