Work Permits, Executive Order #96 declares, shall be issued for a period of up to five years at the option of the holder or beneficiary. The fees for Work Permits shall be assessed by the Minister of Labor in consultation with the Minister of Finance and Development Planning and shall be published by Regulations. Consistent with the Executive Order, all fees for Work and Residence Permits shall be paid directly to the Liberia Revenue Authority for deposit into the Consolidated Account of the Government of Liberia. As a further mitigating measure, the President’s Executive Order has authorized the Minister of Finance and Development Planning to, by Administrative Regulation, impose surtax on goods imported into the country that are in competition with local manufacturers and producers. The Executive Order also imposes a reduced tax of 7% from 10% on Travel Agency or Travel Arrangers, on the issuing of tickets travels that either originates within Liberia or the passengers embarking within Liberia.
