2023 winner of the African Transfer Pricing Firm of the Year
Graphene Economics has been announced as the 2023 winner of the African Transfer Pricing Firm of the Year at the ITR EMEA Tax Awards held on 27 September 2023.
In 2021, Graphene Economics won South African Transfer Pricing Firm of the Year, and the small South African company – which has been around for just six years – has now gone on to take the continent-wide transfer pricing award, as well as being listed as a Tier 1 transfer pricing firm for the fifth year running.
Graphene Economics, founded in 2017, is a small, specialist African transfer pricing firm based in Johannesburg. It has come ahead of the major international consulting and legal firms, including AELEX, CWA Morocco, EY, Saleh Barsoum & Abdel Aziz and Vanbain Transfer Pricing Advisory, to scoop African Transfer Pricing Firm of the Year. This is an impressive achievement, especially when you consider that transfer pricing is a specialised area of taxation typically relevant to large multinational corporations. These entities have traditionally sought assistance from large consulting or legal firms to address their transfer pricing needs.
ITR (International Tax Review) is a leading global publication dedicated to the global tax industry. Its awards have taken place annually since 2005 and recognise remarkable achievements and developments by international tax professionals from the Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA) region over a 12-month period.
