Introducing Tax Education in Non-Accounting Curriculum in Higher Education: Survey Evidence

---

This study aims i) to assess the quest for tax education among working adults
that pursuing off-campus non-accounting program, ii) to analyze the level of
tax knowledge among the working adults, iii) to elicit the relevant tax topics
to be taught should tax education be integrated into non-accounting
curriculum in higher education. We surveyed 450 working adults pursuing
off-campus non-accounting program in one Malaysian public university. 190
usable responses were received. The survey found 64% of the respondents
were keen to learn taxation, and only 23.7% of the respondents possessed
high level of tax knowledge. The topics that they desired to learn the most are
basic tax principles, personal taxation, tax planning for individuals and
taxation for small business and company. The findings suggest that as we
moved into the era of self-assessment tax system, it is imperative for the
accounting academics and the education authorities to seriously consider
introducing tax education in non-accounting curriculum in higher education.

Keywords: Higher education, Malaysia, Non-accounting curriculum, Taxation,Tax education.
