IPNEWS: The Liberia Revenue Authority (LRA) has launched an innovative Whistleblower Platform aimed at strengthening the fight against tax evasion and enhancing the integrity of revenue collection.
The platform, now live and accessible via the LRA website at www.lra.gov.lr, is designed to encourage public reporting of tax evasion, fraud, and related financial crimes.
Members of the public can use the platform to report acts of tax evasion, including malpractices and corrupt activities by both LRA and non-LRA staff. Whistleblowers will remain anonymous and protected unless they choose to disclose their identity.
The initiative, spearheaded by the Fiscal Investigation Division (FID) of the Authority, marks a significant step in improving intelligence-gathering efforts and facilitating more effective tax crime investigations.
Speaking at the launch, LRA Commissioner General James Dorbor Jallah underscored the critical role of public participation in addressing tax fraud and boosting revenue collection.
