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.
