The Charity Tax Group (CTG) has appointed a former Conservative MP as its first-ever chief executive after the 40-year-old organisation registered as a charity last year.
Today, CTG announced that Luke Hall will be joining it as CEO from 5 January 2026, marking a new chapter as it “builds on its role as the leading voice of charities on tax”.
Hall brings senior leadership experience from the government, charity sector and other industries.
He has held senior ministerial positions including at the Department for Education and the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government.
Most recently, he was the MP for Thornbury and Yate until the general election last year.
He served as chair of the All-Party Parliamentary Group on premature and sick children and worked closely with charities and the government to secure parliamentary time for and support the delivery of the Neonatal (Care) Leave and Pay Act.
Appointment marks ‘next milestone’ in CTG’s growth
CTG said the appointment marks the next milestone in its growth, following the attainment of charitable status in December 2024, and “a new chapter with renewed ambition to positively engage government, support its members and partners, and deliver change for the charity sector”.
Its chair Richard Bray said: “It was apparent from our first conversation that Luke shares our values and our drive to positively engage government, serve our members and partners, and deliver change in the charity sector.
“As well as his dedication to public service, we were particularly impressed with Luke’s collaborative approach, driving legislative change to introduce stronger rights for neonatal leave as one example.”
Hall said: “I’m delighted to be joining CTG as its first CEO.
“For over 40 years, CTG has been the voice of charities on tax, saving good causes billions of pounds.
“I look forward to working with members, partners, and policymakers to build on this proud history, secure lasting change in the charity tax landscape, and ensure CTG continues to be the trusted voice of charities on tax for years to come.”
