Semiotic Analysis of Tax Awareness Campaigns: A Comparative Study on Turkey and Selected Countries

Öz

Abstract This study examines the symbolic structure of visual communication tools used to enhance public awareness of taxation, including posters, campaigns, and public service announcements. Examples are provided from Turkey, selected OECD countries, and non-OECD countries. Based on Roland Barthes’ semiotic theory, the research examines visual and linguistic signs in purposefully sampled posters. The findings reveal that in both Turkey and other countries, he relationship between “tax and the future,” the emphasis on digitalization, and themes of social responsibility are prominent. However while in the Turkish context these themes are reinforced through discourses of national unity and collective belonging, in other selected countries they are more strongly associated with individual rights, transparent links to public services, and voluntary tax compliance. Accordingly, visual communication tools for tax awareness are not only considered as informative materials but also as behavioral communication instruments that reconstruct the citizen–state relationship and strengthen tax morale. By revealing how tax communication strategies differ across cultural codes and social structures, the study offers comparative perspective on the effective use of these tools in public policy.
