Uncovering the Impact of Tax Illiteracy: A Deep Dive into Non-Accounting Students' Awareness
Tax literacy plays a crucial role in individuals' financial well-being. Our survey on non-accounting students aims to assess their understanding of tax concepts and the impact of tax illiteracy on their tax awareness.
Do you know the difference between tax deductions and tax credits? How confident are you in your ability to understand a tax return? These are just a few of the questions we posed to participants in our survey.
We found that many non-accounting students lack basic knowledge of tax concepts and feel insecure about their ability to navigate the tax filing process. This highlights the importance of incorporating tax education into school curriculums.
Through our survey, we also discovered that the majority of participants rely on online resources to learn about taxes and are motivated by saving money and avoiding penalties. However, they face challenges such as the complexity of tax laws and fear of making mistakes.
The impact of tax illiteracy on individuals includes a higher tax burden, missed savings opportunities, and an increased risk of audits. To improve tax literacy among non-accounting students, it is essential to provide accessible resources and educate them on practical tax planning strategies.
In conclusion, our survey sheds light on the need for improved tax education for non-accounting students to enhance their tax awareness and financial well-being.
