MONROVIA – The Government and Non-Profit Division (GNFPD) of the Domestic Tax Department at the Liberia Revenue Authority has been recognized as the department’s top-performer for fiscal year 2025 after surpassing its annual revenue target by more than US$21 million.
The achievement has been attributed to the division’s strategic approach to compliance enforcement, enhanced taxpayer engagement, expanded field monitoring, and strengthened oversight mechanisms aimed at increasing voluntary tax compliance and broadening the national tax base.
The Government and Non-Profit Division (GNFPD), which oversees tax administration and compliance activities involving government institutions and non-profit entities across Liberia, has remained proactive in driving compliance initiatives and strengthening oversight within the sector.
According to official department performance records, the GNFPD exceeded its projected revenue target of US$120.584 million by generating more than US$141.729 million during 2025, representing an overperformance of approximately 18 percent. The achievement represents one of the department’s strongest revenue performances in recent years.
Speaking during the presentation of a certificate of recognition to the GNFPD team, Domestic Tax Commissioner Margaret P. Krote praised the division for its professionalism, innovation, and operational efficiency.
“We are proud of the dedication and professionalism demonstrated by the division in expanding the tax net and improving compliance measures,” Commissioner Krote stated.
She noted that the accomplishment further reinforces the Authority’s ongoing efforts to strengthen domestic revenue mobilization, improve taxpayer compliance, and support Liberia’s broader national development agenda. She stressed that the division’s success demonstrates the importance of teamwork, proactive enforcement, and results-driven strategies in strengthening domestic revenue collection.
Commissioner Krote further encouraged other divisions within the Domestic Tax Department to embrace practical, results-driven approaches aimed at improving operational efficiency, strengthening compliance enforcement, and expanding revenue collection across all sectors.
Receiving the award on behalf of the division, GNFPD Assistant Commissioner Eddie Howe described the recognition as a reflection of the resilience and collective efforts of the division’s staff.
AC Howe expressed appreciation to the leadership of the Domestic Tax Department, headed by Commissioner Krote, for its continued support and guidance in advancing the division’s mandate. Mr. Howe also acknowledged the contribution of LRA Commissioner General James Dorbor Jallah toward the division’s achievements.
“Let me thank you for this award. It is both encouraging and reenergizing, inspiring us to continue doing more, a commitment to which we remain fully dedicated,” he indicated.
Meanwhile, Commissioner General Jallah congratulated the division for its exceptional performance and reaffirmed the Authority’s commitment to strengthening domestic revenue mobilization, improving taxpayer compliance, and supporting the achievement of national revenue targets.
Increased domestic revenue collection remains essential to funding key public services, including education, healthcare, infrastructure, and national security, as Liberia continues efforts to strengthen its fiscal position and support sustainable national development.
Since beginning operations in July 2020, the Government and Non-Profit Division has played a strategic role within the Domestic Tax Department through compliance initiatives, stakeholder engagement, enforcement activities, taxpayer awareness campaigns, and collaboration with internal and external partners to improve revenue collection.
As Liberia continues efforts to strengthen domestic resource mobilization and reduce dependence on foreign assistance, the GNFPD’s performance is being viewed as a strong example of the growing role of efficient tax administration in supporting national development and economic stability.
