Liberia to Impose GST on Digital Services, Online Stores, and Cross-Border Digital Transactions

  • The 2026 National Budget will enhance taxation of the digital economy to reduce revenue leakages and ensure fair contributions from cross-border digital transactions and global platforms.
  • Digital services liable to Liberian GST will include electronic services (e.g., streaming, software, e-books, e-learning), communication services (e.g., texting, phone, internet), online stores selling tangible goods, and low value consignments.
  • Operators of online stores will also be liable to VAT.
  • The place of supply will be determined by evidence such as home address, IP address, or payment address to confirm consumption in Liberia.
  • The Ministry will set registration and compliance rules, likely with simplified processes and no right to deduct input VAT.
