- Title
TAXATION EDUCATION IN SECONDARY SCHOOLS.
- Authors
MORGAN, ANNETTE; CASTELYN, DONOVAN
- Abstract
This study aims to understand the existing levels of taxation knowledge evident amongst a sample size of tertiary students. Eligible participants were asked to complete an online survey in an attempt to ascertain the degree to which their secondary school curriculum engaged with elements of Australia's taxation regime. A further component of the study required participants to consider whether tax education should be adopted into Australia's secondary school curriculum, and sought to ascertain whether formal taxation education - whilst at secondary school - would have proved useful or applicable to their future taxpayer obligations. The results of the study indicate that a majority of the participants agree with the proposition that formal tax education should be introduced into secondary school curriculum and, as a corollary, would assist taxpayers in their interactions with Australia's taxation system. In light of the outcomes of this study, it is recommended that the Department of Education and Training, in collaboration with the Australian Taxation Office and other relevant agencies, devise a strategy for the development and introduction of a compulsory taxation education programme within all Australian secondary schools to support and inform future generations of Australian taxpayers.
