The Secretariat of the Liberia Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative (LEITI) over the weekend held a one-day technical workshop aimed at enhancing effectiveness in the preparation of the 6th EITI Report for Liberia.

The report which preparation begins shortly, would capture all material payments of taxes, royalties, land/surface rentals and other administrative fees paid to, and acknowledged by the Government of Liberia by companies in the oil, mining, forestry and agricultural sectors for the period July 1, 2012 to June 30, 2013.

The workshop allowed representatives from concerned companies in the extractive sectors and relevant government agencies to review and modify existing LEITI reporting templates, incorporating new taxes that were introduced during the current reporting period.
