Resource Details

Description

Just Tax from Financial Justice Ireland is an introduction to the topic of tax and tax justice. The activities were developed to support the exploration of tax as a social and environmental justice issue and are designed to be of use in a wide range of settings, including adult and community education, as well as post primary schools.

It is intended as an ‘entry level’ resource to the topic, especially in contexts where tax justice is not necessarily a part of wider discourse, or a part of formal curricula. The aim of this resource is to facilitate participants to discuss, learn and think critically about a range of issues related to tax including different taxation measures and systems, and to assess their impact on people and the environment.
