4.1.6. Civic-Tax Education Programme

During 2019, the execution of the Civic-Tax Education Program developed by the Tax Agency since 2003 has continued. In collaboration with the educational community, various actions have been carried out aimed at children and adolescents to promote fiscal awareness in future taxpayers so that they assimilate fiscal responsibility as one of the values on which a democratic society is organized. All the activities in this field were carried out by staff of the Tax Agency who participated voluntarily.

This program currently has 241 trainers, distributed throughout all the Delegations of the national territory; carrying out, among other activities, the following:

  • Open days (visits to the Delegations) with the participation of about 13,537 students (Primary, ESO and Baccalaureate).

  • Visits to educational centers by Tax Agency personnel, with the participation of more than 37,736 students.

  • Courses and talks have also been given in Faculties and University Schools, with the participation of 3,044 students.

  • It is worth highlighting the increase in activities carried out in Faculties and University Schools, favored by the signing of Collaboration Protocols with them. In 2019, 23 Collaboration Protocols were signed with Universities, which include among their objectives the transmission of civic tax values. Special emphasis is placed on the Faculties of Educational Sciences, and the Teacher Training Centers.

These figures mean that the Tax Agency has reached 18.81% more schoolchildren and university students during 2019 than the previous year, which reflects the boost given to the subject.

The program has as a fundamental teaching tool the Civic-Tax Education Portal New window .

In 2019, it is worth highlighting the celebration of the second year of the updated National Competition for School Centers within the framework of the Tax Civic Education Program , in which Students from 5th and 6th years of Primary Education, ESO, Baccalaureate and basic or intermediate level Vocational Training cycles who have attended the talks or conferences have participated; presenting works such as essays or advertising pieces (graphic posters or videos). At the end of the year, the national awards ceremony was held by the general director of the Tax Agency in the auditorium of its headquarters.

In November 2017, the TAXEDU European Tax Education Portal was published, in whose development the Tax Agency has participated very actively, and continues to participate, collaborating in its dissemination.
