Tax Literacy Courses
by the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA)
Demystify taxes and boost confidence in youth so they can do taxes on their own with these gamified online courses by the CRA.
Gamified tax literacy courses are now freely available for Canadian students and teachers on the ChatterHigh platform.
Students will be able to access seven courses designed to help them understand the Canadian tax system and give them the tools they need to confidently do their taxes on their own.

How it Works
ChatterHigh is a gamified content engagement platform used by students and teachers across Canada and the USA. Students receive a question that they answer by visiting the linked real-world resource. The activity can be done in class or at home, and it is self-marking so teachers can easily monitor progress.
Our Mindful Modules cover a range of topics for life after high school. These modules help learners develop core competencies by using an active learning format that is proven to increase hope and awareness.
