Types of taxes and who collects them
Describe common kinds of taxes by what is taxed — income, purchases (consumption) and property — and identify which government or governments collect each kind where the learner lives (in some places, including Canada, more than one level of government can collect the same kind of tax), and recognise that collected taxes are pooled to pay for public facilities, services and programs, which can have more than one source of funding

Check understanding
- Sort examples of taxes — money taken from a pay cheque, money added when buying something, and money charged on a home — into taxes on income, purchases and property
- Using reliable local information, name which government or governments collect a given kind of tax where they live, giving a local example of more than one level collecting the same kind of tax where that applies (e.g. in Canada, income tax goes to both the federal and the provincial government)
- Explain, using one local facility or service (e.g. a library, road repair or school), that tax money is pooled and that the service can be paid for by more than one government or source
“If your child hears that money is taken from a pay cheque, added at a shop till or charged on a home, can they say which kind of tax each one is and which government collects it where you live?”
