PRETORIA - The African Tax Administration Forum (ATAF) is proud to announce a new programme has been launched in Liberia today in collaboration with Tax Inspectors Without Borders (TIWB)!

This joint programme is part of LRA’s wider objective of capacity building and tax base protection from base-eroding payments.
