TAXEDU and YOUTUBE come together in Lithuania

No one will argue that the awareness of taxpayers is of the utmost importance and therefore all the measures are appropriate.

The TAXEDU website was presented to the entire Lithuanian teacher community using the YouTube channel. The Lithuanian Ministry of Education has a YouTube channel called "Teacher TV". This channel has 5 500 subscribers, which is a large number of non-commercial channels in Lithuania.

I personally participated in the live show and introduced TAXEDU, and now there is a record that everyone can watch at their convenience. We also combined other aspects in the presentation. Since our content is for children, we have proposed an idea that children would collect receipts during the summer when buying ice cream or other delicacies. In the autumn, they will be able to see how much money they have spent on taxes. We also have a voucher lottery in Lithuania, so children from the age of 14 will not only be able to collect receipts but also register them in the lottery.

A child can see on the receipt how much VAT has been paid, may be interested about “What is VAT?” and “Where did the money go?” Robot 2QT will help to understand this.

We are working hard to make teachers, children and parents aware of the great TAXEDU training tools, because we all have a common goal of raising awareness among taxpayers.

The event was organized under the the multiannual action programme„Fiscalis 2020“.
