Welcome to TAXEDU’s newsletter!

The aim of the TAXEDU portal is to ensure that all European citizens – young and old – are informed about the breadth of services and facilities made possible through tax (education, healthcare etc.).

We hope you will enjoy reading about our latest news and activities.

Let's get Started.

Visit the TAXEDU portal

Did you know that EU Member State tax revenue has decreased for the first time since the 2009 financial crisis? Another fact: public expenditure jumped from 46.5% in 2019 to 53% in 2020 due to the COVID-19 crisis.

These are just two of the most interesting trends reported in the Annual Report on Taxation 2022. It can serve as an interesting topic for discussion both inside and outside the classroom. The report is the start of a wider discussion to steer the EU towards a tax framework that is fit for the future.

A high-level Tax Symposium on 28 November 2022 on the ‘EU tax mix on the road to 2050’ will generate input and ideas on the large-scale changes needed in taxation across the EU and will orientate the European Commission’s policy priorities for the future.

TAXEDU will keep you in the loop with news items to inspire the exchange of news, views and experiences among students and teachers.

The EU strengthens its relationship with Ukraine in taxation

The EU and Ukraine are reinforcing their collaboration. Beginning in September 2022, the Commission has signed an agreement allowing Ukraine to participate in the EU’s Customs and Fiscalis programmes. In addition, from 1 October 2022, Ukraine will join the EU-Common Transit Countries’ Convention.

Why greening taxes makes sense

Does taxation have a colour? If we’re referring to taxes that can help create a more sustainable future, then the answer is yes! The colour is green.

Knowing our rights as taxpayers

We all pay taxes. But when it comes to our rights as taxpayers, there is a lot we don’t know. Information is on its way, thanks to the European Commission.

What’s more, we would also like to remind our National TAXEDU Promoters to continue sharing the posts that were made available to them in national languages for all social media channels. We also invite national promoters to share with us the results of their social media activities, such as the total reach of the posts on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.

WE WANT TO HEAR FROM YOU!

National Tax Authorities across the EU are constantly developing new educational materials and ways to engage with students. We want to hear about it! We are always keen to receive new input for the portal and its training catalogue, in English or in your national language. Check how to do it here.

The TAXEDU portal relies on input and contributions of National Tax Authorities and teachers from across the EU, whose support brings us closer to achieving our objectives.

The regular publication of new content will help drive engagement and serve as an inspiration to all countries. In turn, this will spark discussions about what works and what doesn’t work in the different learning contexts.

This is why we invite all National Contact Points to publish their news in English and/or their national language on the TAXEDU News web page. Check the guidelines here.

If you experience difficulties in uploading materials or news, please contact taxedu@b-train3.eu!

Thank you!

The TAXEDU portal would like to thank the National Tax Authorities from countries all around the EU for their highly constructive contributions. Their support brings us even closer to achieving our objectives: to promote the fiscal education of young Europeans, reduce tax evasion and fraud across Europe and provide European citizens with information on the services and facilities that are made possible through tax.
