The purpose of my BSc Thesis is to study and compare thriving European and foreign tax education. I also wanted to present the importance of tax education and literacy as it pertains to reducing tax gap and improving tax morale. In addition, I tried to establish a positive connection between education and tax compliance. Findings in my thesis show research data regarding tax education in select countries.
Using the research data, I was able to compare other educational practices with Slovenian tax education program.
In my research, I used the description method, the compilation method, and the comparison method. The description method was used for summarizing theoretical bases and defining concepts. At the core of my thesis I used the compilation method to summarize views and acknowledgments of taxpayer education in Slovenia and around the world.
I concluded that the field of taxpayer education is still young and therefore lacks a cohesive development strategy. After reviewing education programs in Europe and around the world I also concluded that education is key when developing taxpayers who comply with taxation and are aware of responsibilities regarding taxation. Modern societies without tax fraud will be based on taxpayers with tax awareness.
