John Whiting has been appointed tax policy director for the Chartered Institute of Taxation.
In announcing the appointment, Whiting also confirmed plans to take early retirement from his partnership post within PricewaterhouseCoopers, effective from June.
Commenting on the appointment, Peter Fanning, CEO of the CIoT, said Whiting has 'that rare ability of making tax understandable to the man or woman on the Clapham Omnibus.'
A former president of the institute, Whiting will lead the development and presentation of the CIOT's views on tax policy matters, and will take up his post in the newly-created role on a part-time basis in July.
