MONROVIA, LIBERIA-Liberia Revenue Authority (LRA) says it is conducting a five-day internal training to equip staff with technical knowledge and practical skills to support the rollout of the Value Added Tax (VAT) system.

Participants of the training are being drilled through taxpayer registration, invoicing procedures, return filing, compliance obligations, and the day-to-day application of the VAT within Liberia’s tax administration framework.

In a release issued on Tuesday, July 7, 2026, LRA’s Assistant Commissioner for Medium Tax, Sebastian Weah, described the training as a milestone in the Authority’s Value Added Tax implementation strategy.

Weah believes that the training will equip employees with the knowledge and practical skills required to educate taxpayers, provide accurate technical guidance, and support the effective implementation of the Value Added Tax across Liberia.

Meanwhile, the Project Manager of VAT, Tunny Cooper, said that though substantial progress has been made in strengthening the technological frameworks of the Value Added Tax, the success of the reform depends on the readiness of employees of the LRA.
