Liberia Revenue Authority Commissioner General, Thomas Doe Nah, on Thursday, December 5 called on real property owners in the country to pay their property taxes or be made to pay in line with the law. Real Property taxes are paid annually (mostly between January 1 and June 30) and are calculated based on the value of the property. Section 2008 of the Liberia Revenue Code of 2000 as Amended 2011 authorizes the LRA, through a legal process, to sell real properties to recover tax arrears on them. The CG said there is no exception to the payments of real property tax and called specifically on government officials to take the lead in being compliant. “People cannot be in government or be government officials and can’t pay taxes that they enjoy,” he said.
