State, Regional & Local Taxes

๐Ÿ‡ฑ๐Ÿ‡ท Liberia โ€” County & District Taxes

Liberia's 15 counties and districts collect local taxes including property tax (1%โ€“3% of market value), business licence fees, and local service charges. The Liberia Revenue Authority (LRA) administers national taxes. Liberia uses the US dollar alongside the Liberian dollar. The country was devastated by civil wars (1989โ€“2003) and the 2014โ€“16 Ebola epidemic. Iron ore (ArcelorMittal, China Union), rubber, palm oil, and timber are key exports. Tax reform has been a focus of post-conflict reconstruction under successive administrations.

Nigeria's 36 states and FCT each have their own Personal Income Tax Law (PITL), though rates follow a national schedule. States levy property rates, land use charges, and business premises levies. The 774 local government areas (LGAs) levy tenement rates and market fees. Only federal employees and residents in the FCT pay federal income tax to FIRS; all others pay to state tax authorities. VAT revenue is shared: 15% FIRS, 50% states, 35% LGAs.
