Worshipful Company of Tax Advisers
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Worshipful Company of Tax Advisers is the newest, as of this edit on 19 February, 2007, of the Livery Companies of the City of London. It was started as a Guild of the City of London by some members of the Chartered Institute of Taxation in 1995 and became a Company without Livery in 2000. On 18 January 2005, the Court of Aldermen granted the Company’s petition to become the 107th Livery Company of the City of London. It draws its membership from those working in taxation.
The central feature of the company's coat of arms is a large chequered diagonal cross. This X suggests the Roman ten and the historical tenth or tithe, with a pattern resembling the board used by the Exchequer for tax accounting.
Its motto is "Veritas, Caritas, Comitas" (truth, charity, courtesy).
