    Legal & Regulatory Landscape in Liberia: What foreign investors/entrants should know.

     

    Liberia’s legal system is based on common law, providing a familiar framework for investors from other common law jurisdictions. Under the Investment Act 2010, foreign investors are afforded strong legal protections, including options to resolve disputes with the government through arbitration. Corporate income tax is generally 25%, while withholding taxes of 15% apply to dividends, royalties, and interest paid to non-residents.

     

    Residency and immigration procedures have been modernized, with online applications for resident permits, digital visa-on-arrival systems, and re-entry permits now available to simplify compliance. Businesses can be established as LLCs, corporations, partnerships, or non-resident corporations, and the corporate registry offers relatively efficient processing, including same-day registration for certain entity types.
