Longstanding Charity Finance contributor Graham Elliott has won the award for Tax Writer of the Year at the Taxation Awards.

Elliott is a tax partner at haysmacintyre and leads the indirect taxes unit specialising in VAT. He regularly writes for Charity Finance about the implications for charities.

The event took place late last month at London’s Park Lane Hilton Hotel and was hosted by former television newsreader Natasha Kaplinsky. Elliott said: “I am very honoured to follow in the path of several luminaries who have won this prestigious award.” 

He added: “I want to take this opportunity to thank all my publishers for giving me the platform to write, to haysmacintyre for its continuing encouragement, and, above all, my clients, without whose issues and inspiration, the ideas expressed in my writing would not have come about.” 

The awards were launched in 2001 and recognise both individuals and firms in the industry.
