News Liberia drops tax on cement

Liberia drops tax on cement

Written by Global Cement staff 09 January 2013

Liberia: President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf of Liberia has suspended tariffs on cement. The government cited that the move was in the interest of national reconstruction and development.

Under Executive Order No. 46, titled 'Re-Instituting the Suspension of the Protective Tariff on Cement,' the Liberian government has repealed a US$2 protective tariff per 50kg bag of Portland cement imposed under the Revenue Code of Liberia, tariff No. 25.23. The mandate added that the need still exists to encourage local industries to supply cement to the general public at reasonable prices.

Liberia currently has one cement grinding plant, the Liberia Cement Corporation, a subsidiary of HeidelbergCement which employs 63 people. In 2012 Nigerian cement producer Dangote announced plants to build a US$35m plant in the country.
