Abstract

The way the state can provide the necessary services to its people is through regularly paid taxes. In order for taxes to be paid regularly, taxpayers should perceive the tax positively. The aim of this study is to evaluate the tax awareness of 6th and 7th grade secondary school students. The survey model, which is one of the quantitative research methods, was used in the study. A questionnaire was applied within the scope of the research. In the study, it was concluded that students' tax awareness was at a low level. One of the results of the research is that as the age and class levels of the students increase, their tax awareness also increases. As a result of the study, suggestions were given to increase the tax awareness of the students. In this context, tax- related gains that are limited to the 6th grade can also be included in the 7th and 8th grade levels. Since these are the places where students hear the concept of tax most frequently, emphasis can be given to tax education through family and school in order to increase their tax awareness.

Keywords: Tax, tax awareness, secondary school students
