4.2.6. Civic-Tax Education Programme

During the 2014-2015 academic year, the Tax Agency has worked in collaboration with the education sector to stage various events for children and young people. The aim was to inform future taxpayers about tax obligations in order to help them understand these as one of the values on which a democratic society is built. All the activities in this field were carried out by staff of the Tax Agency who participated voluntarily. In this tax year, the Delegations of the Tax Agency conducted the following activities:

• Open days (visits to the Delegations) with the participation of nearly 9,800 students (primary school, secondary school and sixth form).
• Visits to educational centres by staff of the Tax Agency, with the participation of 19,100 students.
• Additionally, courses and talks were given in University Schools and Faculties, with the participation of 1,500 students.
