Africa-Press – Liberia. <\/strong><\/span>Liberia Revenue Authority (LRA) Commissioner General-designate Thomas Doe Nah Monday faced Senate\u2019s confirmation hearing for a second term and expressed the possibility of taking the country\u2019s annual revenue collection to a billion United States dollars or more.<\/p>\n

At his confirmation hearing, CG Nah stated the LRA remains committed to surpassing last year\u2019s collection of US$579 Million.<\/p>\n

Mr. Nah took over the LRA in 2018 with approximately US$400 Million in domestic revenue annually and pushed the amount to over 500 million by 2021.<\/p>\n

With the 2022 revenue target at 809 million, Mr. Nah assured the Senate\u2019s Committee on Ways, Means, and Finance that Liberia can reach the billion-dollar target or more in revenue in the next few years with their full support.<\/p>\n

If confirmed by the Senate, Mr. Nah will lead the tax authority for the next three years.<\/p>\n

The Commissioner General designate noted, \u201cLiberia is a country, and we deserve to be dividing a billion dollars and not 500 million\u201d to foster national developments that will improve the people and the country\u2019s welfare.<\/p>\n

The LRA CG designate told the Senate that with the help of his dedicated employees, he has successfully steered the affairs of the LRA, stabilizing it through innovation and technology, despite global economic meltdowns worsened by the Covid 19 pandemic.<\/p>\n

The LRA has since digitized tax payment through several means, including mobile money transfer, direct bank transfer, electronic filing, among others, to boost revenue collection in what he called \u2018changing the digital ecosystem of tax collection.\u2019<\/p>\n

He underscored the importance of tax compliance in moving the revenue to billions and pleaded with the Senate to support LRA\u2019s drive to ensure and enforce compliance from all public officials.<\/p>\n

The CG lauded President George Weah for reposing explicit confidence in him to continue serving the country while applauding taxpayers for their commitments and compliance postures.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Senators across the floor commended CG Nah for the excellent service to Liberia and urged him to continue if confirmed.<\/p>\n
