Since 2012, the campaign has aimed to raise public awareness about the benefits of taxes and the harm caused by the shadow economy to our personal well-being and the welfare of the state.\r\nCampaign objectives:\r\n\r\n\r\n \tto draw public attention to the scale of the shadow economy and the damage it causes to the state and to every resident;\r\n \tto encourage understanding of how each of us can contribute to reducing the shadow economy;\r\n \tto bring together leaders from the public sector, business and society to achieve these goals.\r\n\r\nThis year, we are focusing on the value created by fairly paid taxes and how they return to our everyday lives through healthcare, education, transport, security, infrastructure and other public services.\r\nEvery choice to act transparently contributes to what we have and use every day. By creating value honestly, we strengthen trust in the state, business and one another.\r\n\r\n\r\nWhat are we doing this year?\r\n\r\n25 May, 10:00 - Campaign opening\r\nHow much does the shadow economy cost us?\r\nA discussion where we will present the results of a representative public survey and talk about how people understand the benefits of taxes, where they encounter the shadow economy, and what the state, business and society can do to reduce it.\r\nThe discussion will feature Kristupas Vaitiek\u016bnas, Minister of Finance of the Republic of Lithuania, Adomas Klimantas, economist at Investors\u2019 Forum, and others. The list is being updated.\r\nA lesson for upper-secondary school students\r\nTogether with our education partners Edukamentas, we are preparing a lesson for students on the benefits of taxes, the harm caused by the shadow economy and responsible citizenship.\r\nThe lesson will help young people clearly and simply see the connection between everyday choices, fairly paid taxes and the public services we all use.\r\nLesson materials and information for schools: to be updated.\r\nThe campaign is initiated by the community of transparency ambassadors Clear Wave and the association Investors\u2019 Forum.\r\n\r\nWe invite you to join the digital wave of the campaign\r\nFrom 25 May, we invite companies and organisations to share the campaign messages on their screens, social media channels, intranets, newsletters or other communication channels.\r\nThe following organisations have already joined the dissemination of this year\u2019s campaign messages:\r\nLirema, Pliusai, Rimi, IKI, CropLife Lietuva, LIDL, Perlas Network, Klaip\u0117da State Seaport Authority, Enefit, Kolping University of Applied Sciences, iLunch, Telia.
