Growing up and becoming an adult is hard – and the Geneva tax office wants to help.
It’s launching a campaign for those aged between 18 and 25 to make filing tax returns easier.
It points out that many young adults feel daunted when the first tax forms arrive and they ignore them. This means they’re sometimes put on an emergency tax rate, which can lead to debt.
At a press conference yesterday, Geneva finance minister Natalie Fontanet outlined a two-pronged approach. She says there’ll be a social media campaign focused on Instagram and Snapchat to highlight the importance of tax and its part of being a responsible adult.
There’ll also be a specific form for those under 25 years old – which will be simpler and clearer. Younger people tend to have simpler tax affairs.
