Global Money Week Newsletter

Global Money Week Newsletter

Editorial Team


Between 18 and 24 March, Revenue Commissioners (Irish Tax and Customs) participated in Global Money Week (GMW) 2024. Organised by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), GMW is an annual worldwide financial awareness campaign for children and young people. The goal of GMW is to give young people the knowledge, skills, and attitudes necessary to make sound financial decisions and ultimately achieve financial wellbeing and resilience. In 2024, GMW was coordinated in Ireland by the Competition and Consumer Protection Commission (CCPC), with organisations and schools throughout Ireland taking part.

The official GMW slogan is “Learn. Save. Earn”. This slogan represents the key messages of GMW, empowering students to learn about money management, as well as encouraging them to save for their futures and develop skills which will support them in obtaining employment or becoming self-employed. 

Each year, GMW also focuses on a theme. GMW2024 theme, “Protect your money, secure your future,” focused on safe money management and being aware of potential risks such as financial scams and fraud, including phishing, smishing and identity theft. 

What did Revenue do for Global Money Week 2024? 

Revenue issued a GMW newsletter to educators who had previously registered to receive education focused newsletters from Revenue. The newsletter provided subscribers with information on:

  • What is GMW
  • the GMW organiser within Ireland
  • the GMW 2024 events and activities
  • Revenue’s involvement in GMW.

    Nuachtlitir Sheachtain Airgid Domhanda


    Idir an 18 agus an 24 Márta, ghlac na Coimisinéirí Ioncaim (Cáin agus Custaim na hÉireann) páirt i Seachtain Airgid Dhomhanda (GMW) 2024. Arna eagrú ag an Eagraíocht um Chomhar agus Forbairt Eacnamaíochta (OECD), is feachtas ardú feasachta airgeadais bliantúil domhanda é GMW do leanaí agus do dhaoine óga. Is é sprioc an GMW ná an t-eolas, na scileanna agus na dearcthaí riachtanacha a thabhairt do dhaoine óga chun cinntí fónta airgeadais a dhéanamh, agus ar deireadh thiar, leas agus athléimneacht airgeadais a bhaint amach. In 2024, rinne an Coimisiún um Iomaíocht agus Cosaint Tomhaltóirí (CCPC) comhordú ar GMW in Éirinn, agus ghlac eagraíochtaí agus scoileanna ar fud na hÉireann páirt ann.

    Is é mana oifigiúil GMW ná “Foghlaim. Sábháil. Saothraigh”. Léiríonn an mana seo príomhtheachtaireachtaí GMW, scoláirí a chumasú chun foghlaim faoi bhainistíocht airgid, chomh maith len iad a spreagadh chun airgead a shábháil don todhchaí agus scileanna a fhorbairt a thacóidh leo fostaíocht a fháil, nó a bheith féinfhostaithe. 

    Gach bliain, mar chuid de GMW, cuirtear béim ar théama ar leith freisin. Dhírigh téama GMW2024, “Cosain do chuid airgid, cinntigh do thodhchaí,” ar bhainistíocht airgid agus conas a bheith eolach ar rioscaí féideartha ar nós camscéimeanna airgeadais agus calaois, lena n-áirítear fioscaireacht, smioscaireacht agus bradáil aitheantais. 

    Cad a rinne na Coimisinéirí Ioncaim don tSeachtain Airgid Domhanda 2024? 

    D'eisigh na Coimisinéirí Ioncaim nuachtlitir GMW d'oideachasóirí a bhí cláraithe chun nuachtlitreacha dírithe ar oideachas a fháil ó na Coimisinéirí Ioncaim. Chuir an nuachtlitir eolas ar fáil do shíntiúsóirí maidir leis na nithe seo a leanas: 

    • Céard is GMW ann
    • an t-eagraí GMW in Éirinn
    • imeachtaí agus gníomhaíochtaí GMW 2024
    • rannpháirtíocht na gCoimisinéirí Ioncaim sa GMW.

    Le linn GMW, thug foireann for-rochtana Scoileanna na gCoimisinéirí Ioncaim cuairt ar roinnt meánscoileanna, agus rinneadh cur i láthair do scoláirí san Idirbhliain, sa 5ú agus sa 6ú bliain. I measc na gcur i láthair bhí ábhair ar nós  

    • conas le moChúrsaí a shocrú suas agus do cháin féin a bhainistiú, agus
    • conas seirbhísí ar líne na gCoimisinéirí Ioncaim a úsáid go sábháilte agus go slán.

    Roinn na Coimisinéirí Ioncaim príomhtheachtaireachtaí ar a gcuntas X (Twitter roimhe seo). Chuir na teachtaireachtaí seo eolas ar fáil maidir leis na nithe seo a leanas:

    • conas seirbhísí ar líne na gCoimisinéirí Ioncaim (ROS agus moChúrsaí) a úsáid go sábháilte
    • an chaoi a ndéanann na Coimisinéirí Ioncaim teagmháil lena gcustaiméirí
    • camscéimeanna coitianta le bheith ar an eolas fúthu.


    Fuair na teachtaireachtaí seo os cionn 15,000 amharc le linn GMW.

    Chomh maith leis an obair a dearnadh le linn Sheachtain Airgid Domhanda, tá na Coimisinéirí Ioncaim ag leanúint ar aghaidh ag cur an modúl Idirbhliana "Bunchúrsa Cánach" chun cinn, trí fhreastal ar chomhdhálacha éagsúla múinteoirí. Ó seoladh an Bunchúrsa Cánach i mí Dheireadh Fómhair 2023, tá sé déanta ag os cionn 2,500 scoláire ar fud na hÉireann go dtí seo. Tá an cúrsa saor in aisce agus ar fáil le híoslódáil ó shuíomh idirlín na gCoimisinéirí Ioncaim, tagann gach ábhar a theastaíonn chun an cúrsa a mhúineadh leis.
