The Government of Sierra Leone has conducted a joint assessment tour of selected factories and businesses in Freetown as part of efforts to strengthen compliance with the Tax Stamp Law and improve domestic revenue mobilisation.
The exercise, conducted on Thursday, August 13, 2026, by the National Revenue Authority (NRA) in collaboration with the Ministry of Finance, National Petroleum Regulatory Agency (NPRA) and SICPA, focused on assessing compliance with tax stamp requirements, identifying potential gaps and strengthening revenue assurance.
The joint team visited Mackie Cement Factory in Hastings, the SICPA Warehouse in Wellington, LEONE Oil Company in Kissy, Rockcem and King Production at Shell, Kissy.
The NRA delegation was led by Edwin Conteh, Deputy Commissioner of the Domestic Tax Department, and Moo-Usa Salia Konneh, Assistant Commissioner of the Excise Office, Domestic Tax Department.
The Ministry of Finance was represented by Idrissa Kanu, Director of the Revenue and Tax Policy Division, while NPRA was represented by Ansumana Samura, Director of Operations and Pricing. SICPA was represented by its General Manager, Maxwell Massaquoi.
The assessment forms part of broader government efforts to strengthen tax compliance, safeguard public revenue and promote a level playing field among businesses operating in the country.
The participating institutions said improved compliance with the Tax Stamp Law would help prevent revenue leakages and support the Government’s domestic revenue mobilisation agenda.
They also reaffirmed their commitment to continued joint monitoring and enforcement and urged businesses subject to the Tax Stamp Law and other tax obligations to comply fully with the applicable requirements.
