Russell Moore

Russell Moore is a partner in top 20 accountancy firm Saffery Champness. Wholly dedicated to the voluntary sector, Russell is one of the leading VAT advisers to charities and not-for-profit organisations in the UK.

He has secured numerous multi-million pound VAT refunds for leading charities, including RNLI, Cancer Research UK, Oxfam, Save the Children Fund, Shelter, British Heart Foundation, WWF UK, Amnesty International and the Multiple Sclerosis Society.

Russell can count many of the leading UK charities amongst his clients and is an adviser to many of the sector's umbrella groups.

He has advised on many leading cases heard before the VAT Tribunal and High Court and was the adviser to the Children’s Society in their landmark High Court ruling in 2005 which has enabled all charities to partially recover VAT on raising unrestricted funds. This is estimated to save the voluntary sector £100m per annum.
