I got spammed today. By text message from MOF. The message said, "Pay your taxes for better education of your children, the provision of good health facilities, housing, good roads and better security for all".
I suppose it's a pretty effective way to get the message across, but really, how many messages do they need about paying your taxes? And with the recent presidential decree that means those who earn less than, I think, 40,000 Liberian Dollars (just over US$600) a year don't pay income taxes and with 85% unemployment, I'm not sure who these messages are aimed at. Perhaps it's to businesses? This isn't the only avenue I've seen used to disseminate the message; you see posters all over the place. Best way to expand the tax base?
