The National Revenue Authority (NRA), alongside the Ministry of Finance, the National Petroleum Regulatory Agency (NPRA), and SICPA, conducted a compliance assessment tour of various factories and businesses in Freetown today.
The team inspected the Mackie Cement Factory in Hastings, the SICPA Warehouse in Wellington, LEONE Oil Company in Kissy, Rockcem, and King Production also in Kissy. Their aim was to evaluate adherence to tax stamp regulations, identify compliance gaps, and enhance revenue assurance.
The NRA’s delegation was led by Edwin Conteh, Deputy Commissioner of the Domestic Tax Department, and Moo-Usa Salia Konneh, Assistant Commissioner of the Excise Office. Idrissa Kanu, Director of the Revenue and Tax Policy Division, represented the Ministry of Finance, while Ansumana Samura, Director of Operations and Pricing, spoke for the NPRA. Maxwell Massaquoi, General Manager of SICPA, also participated in the exercise.
This initiative highlights the government’s commitment to improving domestic revenue collection, ensuring fair competition, and preventing revenue loss through better compliance and enforcement. The agencies reaffirmed their dedication to ongoing collaboration and encouraged all relevant businesses to fully adhere to the Tax Stamp Law and their tax obligations.
