In a recent awareness campaign in Grand Gedeh, Grand Bassa, Nimba and Bong counties, rural dwellers lauded the LRA for the exercise because it provided all the necessary information about taxation. The awareness is done through quizzing and debates with participants from Tax Clubs the LRA established to promote messages that have to encourage payment of taxes. Commissioner Talery informed the lawmakers about their real property tax obligations under the law, the step-by-step procedures in paying these taxes and the kinds and categories of real property taxes, including residential, commercial as well as rural and urban properties. Meanwhile, the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Bhofal Chambers welcomed the LRA awareness, noting that as indicated by law, every citizen is obliged to pay real estate property tax. The Speaker described the LRA’s initiatives as brilliant and lauded the authority on behalf of the Legislature for the exercise.
