In a significant move to strengthen tax cooperation, National Revenue Authority (NRA) Commissioner General Madam Jeneba J. Bangura met with Sierra Leone’s Ambassador to the United Nations in Geneva, H.E. Lansana Gberie, on the sidelines of the 31st Session of the UN Committee of Experts on International Cooperation in Tax Matters.
The meeting, held at the Palais des Nations, aimed to enhance collaboration between the NRA and the Sierra Leonean government in taxation and revenue mobilization. This initiative is crucial for Sierra Leone’s efforts to improve tax administration and increase domestic revenue collection.
Discussions between Commissioner General Bangura and Ambassador Gberie underscore Sierra Leone’s commitment to fostering international cooperation in tax matters. By engaging with global partners, the NRA is working towards developing inclusive and effective tax policies that will benefit the country.
The meeting also highlights the importance of global cooperation on tax matters, particularly for developing nations like Sierra Leone. The NRA’s participation in the UN Committee of Experts meeting and its engagement with the Sierra Leonean government further demonstrate the country’s dedication to improving its tax system.
The outcomes of this meeting are expected to yield positive results for Sierra Leone’s tax administration and revenue mobilization efforts. As the country continues to strengthen its tax system, the NRA’s collaboration with international partners will play a pivotal role in achieving these goals.
