Should I include a meta description for my tags on posts

Hi

Our crawl report detects that we have not put in a meta description for any of the tags we have used on our blog.  (total tag words we have used is around 70). We have however, put a full description of each of our categories, do we really need to put a description for each of the tags we use?  Will this really help us with SEO? Also can tags on posts be the same as the keyword your trying to rank the post/article about?

For further information We are using Yoast.

For the most important tags I would recommend writing meta descriptions to help increase traffic and leave it for the less important tags.

Yes and no. A good meta description can improve CTR. Google won't always use it. depending on the user search. Probably a good idea for your home page for when user searches your brand

It probably won't help you much SEO-wise, but are these pages showing up in the SERPs (the pages without the meta description)? If they are, you probably want to add a meta description so that Google displays it under the snippet.
