Members of the CIOT’s Low Incomes Tax Reform Group received four of the awards presented at last week’s LexisNexis Taxation Awards.

John Andrews, founder of LITRG, received the Lifetime Achievement award. The CIOT noted that he set up LITRG in his 'retirement' and had built it into ‘a real force for good on behalf of the ordinary taxpayer’.

LITRG also received the Technological Innovation award for revenuebenefits.org.uk, a website managed in partnership with rightsnet that offers access to information on HMRC 'products' including tax credits and child benefit.
