Teaching Taxes Program

The Teaching Taxes program introduces high school and post-secondary students to Canada's tax system and teaches them the practical skill of preparing a basic income tax and benefit return. This program has been available to educators since 1970 and the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) updates it in December each year. Please see the Program Information for details.
