NRA Eyes Annual Revenue Target After Reaching 92% of Mid-Year Goal, Says Commissioner

The National Revenue Authority (NRA) is projected to exceed its 2026 revenue target following a robust first-half performance.

Sierra Leone's domestic revenue generation efforts are gaining significant traction. Having achieved 92% of its first-half revenue target, the National Revenue Authority (NRA) is confident in not only meeting but surpassing its ambitious annual revenue goal for 2026.

The Commissioner General of the National Revenue Authority (NRA) has reported a strong revenue performance for the first half of 2026, bolstering confidence in the organization's ability to exceed its annual revenue target and enhance Sierra Leone's capacity to fund national development through indigenous resources.

During an interview with ECKO Media, Commissioner General Mrs. Jeneba J. Bangura disclosed that the Authority has already attained 92% of its first-half revenue target, attributing this outcome to the efficacy of ongoing reforms and enhanced tax administration practices.

Mrs. Bangura attributed this accomplishment to the steadfast commitment of NRA personnel, the successful implementation of institutional reforms, and an increasing propensity for voluntary tax compliance among both individuals and businesses nationwide.

She conveyed optimism that the Authority will sustain its current trajectory for the remainder of the year, indicating that the NRA is well-positioned to achieve—and potentially surpass—its 2026 annual revenue target.

The Commissioner General further reiterated the Authority's dedication to continuing reforms aimed at optimizing revenue collection, enhancing taxpayer services, and mobilizing the domestic resources essential for advancing Sierra Leone's national development agenda.

This announcement coincides with the Government's continued emphasis on domestic revenue mobilization as a cornerstone for financing public services, infrastructure, and sustainable economic growth.
