Tax morale and education for adolescents

Tax morale focuses, above all, on educating in values such as equality, solidarity and equity, as well as the tax awareness and responsibility. In this study a brief analysis of tax morale and education for adolescents in 4º of ESO, 1º and 2º of Bachillerato is done, i.e. for students with ages between 15 and 18 years-old. The reason is that at these ages they may be considered mature enough to understand and assimilate the contents of that topic. Firstly, the meaning and importance of tax morale and education are indicated, not only for the adults but also, and mainly, for the young people in order to make them good citizens in the future. Subsequently, some initiatives that are already being implemented for teaching tax morale and education to adolescent students are shown, indicating the methodology and resources used in Spain, in some European countries and in other countries in the rest of the world. Finally, a methodological proposal is suggested to promote, in an entertaining and innovative way, the tax morale and education in Economics of ESO and Bachillerato and, transversally, for students who do not study such subjects.
