The Liberia Revenue Authority (LRA) has officially launched its Corporate Strategic Plan 2025–2029, outlining a five-year roadmap to strengthen domestic revenue mobilization, accelerate digital transformation, improve taxpayer services, facilitate legitimate trade, and enhance Liberia’s capacity to finance its development.

The CSP is anchored on five strategic goals, including effective, fair, and transparent administration of revenue laws; promoting voluntary compliance; strengthening governance, leadership, human capital, and infrastructure; harnessing technology and data; and deepening cooperation and strategic partnerships.
