Activities across the EU. We’d love to hear from you!

 

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


National Tax Authorities across the EU are constantly developing new educational material 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 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. 


We know that Member States are very active in spreading the word about tax education. We are also pleased to see how sharing these strategies and experiences can encourage action and new initiatives in other countries. This is why we invite all National Contact Points to publish their news in English and/or in their national language on the TAXEDU News webpage. Check the guidelines here. If you experience difficulties in uploading materials or news, please contact taxedu@b-train3.eu!  


Below are just a couple of examples of national activities in recent weeks.


Watch the TAXEDU News webpage for the latest inspiring initiatives in Member States.

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.
