PETER Slipper will still be fighting accusations he misused taxpayer-funded taxi vouchers to tour Canberra wineries after the September election.

Mr Slipper was this morning formerly charged with three counts of misusing Cabcharge dockets with a cost to the Commonwealth of more than $1000.

The former Parliamentary Speaker pleaded not guilty to the charges.

A court date has been set down for December 2 for a seven-day hearing.

The Director of Public Prosecutions will call close to 50 witnesses including 31 civilians and seven Australian Federal Police.

Arriving at the ACT Magistrates court this morning Mr Slipper avoided media questions on the matter.

''We've just got a bit of business to conduct inside and then I will be making a short statement afterwards,'' he said.

The former Liberal MP, now independent for the Sunshine Coast electorate of Fisher, attended a case management hearing from 11am where entered a plea.

He is charged with general dishonesty causing a risk of loss to the Commonwealth.

It is the fourth time the matter has been in court, but the first time Mr Slipper has attended.

During the last hearing Magistrate Bernadette Boss entered a plea of not guilty on behalf of Mr Slipper to ''progress this matter''.

The Director of Public Prosecutions was awaiting evidence from a geospatial expert on the matter at the last hearing.

Mr Slipper faces charges relating to three occasions in which he allegedly dishonestly used Cabcharge dockets to visit Canberra wineries and restaurants in hire cars in 2010, amounting to $1194 in charges to the taxpayer.

He faces the possibility of a jail sentence, with the offences carrying a maximum penalty of five years' imprisonment if he is found guilty.

Mr Slipper last year denied misusing Cabcharge dockets, saying allegations against him were a ''complete farbrication''.
