Richard Bray is a Chartered Accountant who joined Cancer Research UK shortly after its creation in 2002. Previously he worked for KPMG for 20 years in varied audit and tax roles. His current work involves responsibility for a wide range of technical and regulatory issues including tax work for the charity. He has been closely involved with the Charity Tax Group since 2002 and is currently its Vice Chairman. He is also a member of the ICAEW Charities Committee, the HMRC Charity Tax Forum and the Charity SORP Committee. Richard has a keen interest in understanding how tax reliefs can best encourage philanthropic giving in a way that focuses on the donor rather than the technical. He has also worked closely with HMRC over many Gift Aid developments in recent years and was partly responsible for the Gift Aid Declaration wording that was introduced from April of 2016.
