What is it about?
The paper aims to determine the usefulness of a nationally hosted tax intervention targeted at pervasive skills development and presented to tax students from various South African universities. The intervention was designed to provide students with the opportunity to develop pervasive skills and to determine the intervention's success in encouraging students to apply the pervasive skills required by professional bodies and employers. The paper is unique in that it evaluates the usefulness of a one-of-a-kind tax-related intervention derived from a wide-ranging spectrum of South African tax students‟ perceptions. Action research was conducted where quantitative data was gathered using questionnaires to determine the usefulness of the tax intervention in exposing students to the development of pervasive skills and encouraging them to apply these. Overall, tax students recommended the intervention as an effective teaching method that could positively contribute to pervasive skills development.
