Former Speaker Peter Slipper has won an appeal against his conviction for dishonestly misusing taxpayer-funded taxi vouchers.

While admitting to using government travel entitlements to visit vineyards outside Canberra in 2010, Mr Slipper always denied he acted dishonestly.

The ACT Supreme Court on Thursday set aside the conviction.
