Influencing compliance by university education Kasia Bronzewska, IBFD Porto Alegre, 20 November 2013

Compliance and education What is compliance? What compliance models exist? No one-fits-all solution available: Compliance tools available for TA; Compliance and education; OECD “Right from the start” approach (SMEs). Examples from different countries.

Compliance and education Compliance Compliance tools Education Uni level edu

Compliance (1) What is tax compliance? The procedural and administrative actions needed to satisfy a taxpayer‘s obligations under the applicable tax rules. TP group: Individuals v SMEs v large corporations Culture: anecdotal evidence : “In America, if you cheat on your taxes your neighbours won't talk to you. In Italy, they'll ask you how you did it.“ Beppe Severgnini

Compliance (2) Voluntary compliance is a system of compliance that relies on individual citizens to report their income freely and voluntarily, calculate their tax liability correctly, and file a tax return on time. Is ‘voluntary’ really voluntary? Default compliance is, for instance, the use of pre-filling. The individuals are compliant by default, their attitudes towards compliance do not matter any more.

Basic compliance models Economic deterrence model Assumes that the TP is a utility maximiser and the decisions concerning compliance are based on TP’s risk profile. Social psychology models Look at the impact of social stimuli and interaction on individual decision-making. Fiscal psychology models Mix of the economic deterrence and social psychology – economic/financial factors and TP’s characteristics and circumstances.

Non-compliance Non compliance may result from: negligence; carelessness or recklessness; ignorance (i.e. a lack of knowledge of the regulators view of compliance); honest mistake; not being in a position to comply; or a difference of views as to what compliance is. This can range from reasonably arguable positions to the aggressive ones.

Compliance & education Communication, engagement and education walk hand in hand. Education – making individuals understand of what their obligation consist of and how to meet them.

Compliance & young people Younger (<30) people: –Less compliant than middle-aged and older people; –Less knowledgeable about tax issues; –Less developed sense of moral obligation or law abidingness to pay tax; –More sceptical about government authority. – Next generation of taxpayers;

OECD, Right from the Start (2012) Education is an important element in addressing compliance risks up-front. Education works best when the person being taught is motivated and knows how to use the knowledge. The right education at the right time is therefore important. Educating young people as well as new immigrants about tax in a more general context could influence personal and social norms. Acting Right from the Start‘ implies that education should start at an early stage, for example, in high school, college and university. Social media can also play a role in this respect. This contributes to establishing an environment more conducive to compliance.

OECD, Right from the Start (2012) Example: Canadian trade school initiative: The initiative‘s goals are to target trade students and educate them on the requirements of the tax system as well as to caution them on participating in the underground economy.

Australian Taxation Office The secondary school education program helps students become prepared and educated about entering and interacting with the tax system. The program has three main elements : 1.the secondary school tax file number (TFN) program 2.tax and super educational resources 3.school visits.

ATO, Tax Super + You

Tax, Super + You teaches in a fun and engaging way how the Australian tax and super systems work, the benefits to the community and the role Australians play in supporting these systems. It has four modules: tax basics; personal tax; business tax; super.

Understanding Taxes, IRS Understanding Taxes Understanding Taxes – The quick and simple way to understand your taxes. Making real-world connections to classroom instruction is an important goal of educators. The IRS partnered with education professionals to bring you the Understanding Taxes Teacher Site, an interactive tax education program for middle school, high school and community college classrooms.

Understanding Taxes, IRS Student site: a set of 38 Understanding Taxes student lessons; Divided into 2 content areas: –the Hows of Taxes (how to apply tax principles); and –the Whys of Taxes (tax history and theory).
