Earning Money & Paying Taxes

LoveReading4Kids Says

Money, wages and the taxes we pay are in the news now with a general election looming. This book is ideal for informing young people about the world of paid work and income tax. It opens with a section looking at the things we need money for, from treats to travel to bills, then examines the different kind of jobs people do, before taking a close look at a payslip, deductions for PAYE, NI and pension all clearly explained.

Later the book explains where the money collected as taxes goes and what it’s used for. It’s packed with facts and information, with details explained via illustrations and infographics making it appealing to look at and very accessible. It ends by reminding readers that money isn’t everything, but if you can pay your bills, afford treats and enjoy work, the result will be happiness.
