The Domestic Tax Department of the Liberia Revenue Authority (LRA), has concluded a three-day strategic retreat that strengthened internal collaboration, and accelerated the implementation of its revenue mobilization roadmap, as the institution advances toward an ambitious national revenue target. Held in Margibi County, under the theme: “Strengthening Collaboration for Effective Revenue Administration,” the retreat brought together key sections and divisions of the Domestic Tax Department alongside internal stakeholders. Discussions, according to a release, were centered on reassessing operational strategies, improving coordination and refining implementation frameworks to boost revenue performance.
At the close of the retreat, Domestic Tax Commissioner Margaret P. Krote, described the gathering as a critical milestone in repositioning the department to meet its targets.
Madam Krote stressed the need for renewed focus, innovation, and stronger alignment in all operational units. “This is the right moment for us to refocus, and reshape our approach to achieving the overall revenue target of the domestic tax department. I ask that we all work harder and do more to achieve our target.”
Madam Krote further urged departmental leaders to remain committed to their core mandate of revenue collection while advancing reforms to enhance efficiency, strengthen compliance, and drive revenue growth.
She also commended the leadership of LRA Commissioner General James Dorbor Jallah for “continued institutional support, and praised staff for their dedication to national revenue mobilization efforts.”
Madam Krote named the Government and Not-For-Profit Division as the department’s top performer in achieving its 2025 revenue target, urging others to emulate the division’s strong performance.
Mr. Jallah said, internal collaboration as a key driver of improved performance.
He noted that effective coordination across units remains essential to maximizing revenue outcomes and achieving institutional goals.
“I want to thank all of you for the great work done and encourage you to continue increasing your efforts as we strive to meet and exceed our targets.”
The retreat comes at a pivotal time as the Domestic Tax Department works toward achieving a projected 2026 revenue target amounting to over US$889 million.
As it stands, approximately 47 percent of the target has already been achieved, signaling strong early performance while highlighting the need to sustain the momentum in the months ahead.
