Tax education inspires creativity in Spain

The Spanish Tax agency’s role is paramount in promoting tax education. Young Spaniards are at the centre of its strategy, thanks to a special award ceremony that spurs the imagination in the field of tax and ethics.

Spain’s Tax agency (AEAT) has been actively promoting the TAXEDU portal since its creation in 2017. The successful outcome is all thanks to involvement of its Tax Education Programme trainers and territorial delegates, as well as the regional offices.

A proactive Spanish Tax Agency 
This commitment started in  2018, when AEAT linked its website to the TAXEDU portal via its page "Educación Cívico-Tributaria" which lists important references on civic tax education. 

Realising the potential of the digital sector, AEAT focused on social media with the publication of the TAXEDU promotional video on the AEAT YouTube channel. The result is impressive, as the clip has been watched more than 400 times, showing the interest of users in tax education for the youth. 

What’s more, TAXEDU had the opportunity to reach more than 25 000 Spanish users, as the internal magazine of the Spanish Tax Agency, “La Ventana", published an item specifically dedicated to the portal and its numerous features, micro-clips and e-learning modules. 

Tax and fun
To inspire and encourage young people’s creativity, Spain’s Tax Agency launched an annual awards ceremony in 2010. Each year since then, it has been rewarding dozens of students who have gained the highest marks in creative writing, drawing and art competitions on the theme of tax and ethics.

 
Thanks to this competition, students in Spain have had the possibility to compete for Mobility Era ‘Play your taxes!’ Games. This unique boardgame aims to teach players about taxes while having fun! It stresses the important role of taxes in our life and generate a positive attitude in this field. Read an article published on the TAXEDU website about the 2019 Awards Ceremony.
