Abstract: Abstract Global effort takes place by governments to tackle low levels of tax awareness, compliance and ethics and a big number of researchers examine the relationship among tax education, tax compliance and tax ethos. The purpose of this study is to examine the relationship between education, tax awareness among young people and students’ perceptions of tax education. Tax compliance is a critical aspect of a well-ordered and developed society and tax ethos plays an important role in the creation of individuals’ tax behavior. The study highlights the role of tax education and its influence on tax compliance and tax ethics. The authors conducted a pilot quantitative study involving 52 students from Greek Universities that is part of a bigger research. Results showed lack of effective tax education and is presented the need for targeted interventions to improve tax education, awareness and compliance of young people in Greece. This study provides valuable insights for the relationship between education and tax awareness that may benefit the government to understand the importance and effectiveness of tax education, for citizens at Greece to acquire tax awareness and compliance.
