The Worshipful Company of Tax Advisers

The annual Inter-Livery Carol Service will be held at Saint Bartholomew the Great on Tuesday 16 December, starting at 6pm. This ever-popular event will be followed by a festive Supper at Butchers’ Hall, from 7.30pm. Booking arrangements to follow.

Liveryman Dr Maria Kendrick will be speaking on  “The Debt Experiment: How the History of Taxation Informs the Future of Public Debt“.  

The world is currently on an unsustainable trajectory of increasing public debt with a corresponding necessity to find tax revenue for repayment. This is leading to calls to find new taxes to generate revenue to repay the debt. However, this is not a new phenomenon.  Dr  Kendrick will explain how the history of taxation informs the future of public debt in a manner that seems both historically repetitive and experimental, considering the potential impact this might have on new forms of finance and governmental structures.
