The International Tax Review has launched its ITR World Tax 2026 Guide, a guide to leading tax firms and tax practitioners across the world. AKD is once again recognised as one of the top-tier firms in tax.

In the 2026 edition of the ITR World Tax Guide, AKD continues to demonstrate strong performance across the full range of tax services. In Belgium, we have retained our top ranking in General Corporate Tax and Tax Controversy, welcomed a new ranking in Indirect Tax, and improved our position in Transfer Pricing. In the Netherlands, we have improved our ranking for General Corporate Tax and Transfer Pricing, retained our rankings in Indirect Tax, Tax Controversy, and Transactional Tax.

We are also pleased to highlight our colleagues who received individual recognition: Yannick Vandenplas has been named a Rising Star in Tax Controversy (Belgium), and Ludo Luijks is Highly Regarded in Transactional Tax (the Netherlands).

We would like to thank our clients for their positive feedback, which is invaluable in achieving these rankings.

For the full overview of our rankings, please see the ITR World Tax Guide here (Belgium) and here (the Netherlands).
