Since its launch in 2017, this European Commission portal has been providing tools and inspiration to make tax education more playful, challenging and imaginative for today’s students and tomorrow’s citizens. The results are quite impressive.

From the specially designed tax education lessons incorporated into Bulgaria’s school curriculum to the tax lesson plans rolled out in classrooms across Hungary and the ‘tour of legality’ organised by the Italian Revenue Agency in Sicily, it is clear to see how TAXEDU materials and resources are covering more distance than ever before.

The portal has become a go-to resource for national administration representatives, school teachers and students. An increasing number of national administrators are making use of the portal’s wide range of multilingual educational material, particularly the training catalogue and the lesson plans and videoclips.

What’s more, national administrations based in various Member States have actively promoted and emphasised the importance of tax education in schools, and many have organised special events and activities with the support of the TAXEDU portal.

In fact, the growth in national contributions to the portal is a sign that TAXEDU is continuously being welcomed into classrooms and workshops all over the EU. The portal’s vibrant news section, which is updated almost weekly, is expanding with a steady flow of reports about national initiatives aimed at improving the fiscal education of young people.

A big thank you to contributors
A growing number of articles are streaming through directly from national representatives. This way, they are sharing information, exchanging good practices and inspiring more teachers and students to learn about taxes and taxation.

We thank all national representatives for their invaluable contributions and support and encourage more to follow suit.

Do you have a good practice or exciting piece of information to share? Don’t hesitate to upload your reports in English or in your own language in the News section or reach out to the TAXEDU portal (taxedu@b-train3.eu)

The portal’s followers form the bedrock of the TAXEDU community. Teachers and students may contribute to the diverse discussions via the Forum or by contacting the TAXEDU Network in each Member State.
