Educational material
Taxes in Québec: Why We Pay Them and How They Are Used
Revenu Québec publishes this educational material in order to introduce young people to taxation in Québec and help them understand the basic concepts behind consumption and income taxes, in a perspective of social justice and fairness.
The program material is published in two versions:
- one for integration into the curriculum of the third cycle of elementary school (grades 5 and 6)
- one for integration into the secondary V Economics course
The material is available in English and French. Each kit includes a teacher's presentation and activity guide, and a workbook for each student. Students may also participate in a contest activity.
A new edition is published each year and distributed in February, free of charge, to all teachers in the relevant grade levels. This material is not available on the Internet.
