Matthew Hutton began writing seriously on tax issues when he set up his tax consultancy in May 1989. His first book Tolley's Tax Planning for Private Residences was published in 1991. Over the 1990's, his writing and conference speaking activities developed alongside the consultancy. He has now written or contributed to ten books, with an eleventh (on Estate Planning) to be published in September 2008.

Matthew has over the years contributed articles on various tax subjects to a number of Journals, including Private Client Business (of which he is now the General Editor), Taxation, The Tax Journal, Tax Adviser, Indirect Tax Voice and The STEP Journal. Subjects covered range over the spectrum of his professional interests.

CTR is a quarterly intelligence report for professionals advising private clients on capital taxation and estate planning who do not already have access to such information. The aim of CTR is to bring together in a single electronic document the principal developments arising over the previous quarter. The electronic format is designed to facilitate e-mail circulation around the office and can also be printed and filed to create a hard copy reference. CTR's concise and easy-to-read format makes it a highly useful, time-efficient and cost-effective method of staying on top of developments in the world of capital taxation and estate planning.
