Fostering taxpayer education to enhance public trust in tax and help achieve SDGs
ACCA, IFAC and OECD online event, 8 February 2022 at 15:00-16:45 CET

Providing citizens with the information to understand how the tax system works, the rights and obligations of taxpayers, and how citizens can influence the evolution of the tax system, is vital to building public trust in tax systems, a key component in tax morale.   There are number of ways in which citizens can gain this knowledge and confidence in the tax system, such as education of taxpayers about the tax system; providing taxpayers with justifications for specific changes in tax law; reducing complexity; or communications encouraging taxpayers to see their taxes as their fair contribution to society, to name a few.
 
A recent report from the OECD,  Building a Tax Culture, Compliance and Citizenship: A Global Source Book on Taxpayer Education (Second Edition)   shows that taxpayer education can be a key tool to boost the willingness of individuals and businesses to voluntarily pay tax, and play a vital role at the heart of mobilising the tax revenues urgently needed to help achieve the Sustainable Development Goals. For while there has been significant progress in international tax co-operation to tackle fraud, tax avoidance, and tax evasion, important challenges remain in domestic revenue mobilisation, and the Covid-19 pandemic has increased demands on states to provide public goods, while reducing economic activity.
 
However, educating taxpayers is not just the business of tax administrations, and to succeed, collaboration and partnerships with other stakeholders such as schools, professional bodies, business associations and non-governmental organisations are essential.
 
ACCA and  IFAC, in collaboration with the OECD, are therefore delighted to invite you to a lively discussion revolving around  the three main approaches around taxpayers education identified in the report -teaching tax; communicating tax; and supporting taxpayers directly in compliance, - and how to foster effective collaboration among the key actors.
