Liberia: GOL Raises U.S.$954.7m in Revenue

What the report says

Liberia’s revenue authority says the government has collected US$954.7 million in Fiscal Year 2026, putting it close to a key domestic revenue target. The announcement was made in Monrovia by Liberia Revenue Authority Commissioner-General James Dorbor Jallah during a review meeting on revenue performance, measures and policies.

According to the report published by the Liberian Observer and distributed by AllAfrica, the figure reflects cooperation between the LRA, the Ministry of Finance and Development Planning, and other public institutions. Officials said the pace of collections leaves the government on course to pass US$1 billion in revenue before the end of September 2026, while also aiming toward a broader US$1.3 billion target for the year.

The government is also promoting new tax collection tools as part of its efforts to improve compliance and reduce leakage. The article specifically mentions electronic fiscal devices, which are intended to strengthen monitoring, simplify filing and support a more efficient tax system.

Finance Minister Augustine Kpehe Ngafuan also urged continued coordination and stronger taxpayer engagement, saying domestic revenue is central to funding development priorities and reducing reliance on external assistance. The broader context is Liberia’s effort to expand internal resources for public services and long-term fiscal stability.
