Freetown, 16th February 2026 — Sierra Leone’s Consolidated Fund closed the 2025 financial year with SLE 17.34 billion in total domestic revenue, according to the latest Statement of Fiscal Operations issued under Section 66(1) of the Public Financial Management Act, 2016.
The figures, covering receipts into and payments out of the Consolidated Fund for December 2025, show that the government collected SLE 1.9 billion in December alone, bringing cumulative revenue for the year to SLE 17,343,127,000.
Income Tax Leads Collections- Income tax remained the backbone of domestic revenue, contributing SLE 8.72 billion for the year, including SLE 922 million in December. Goods and Services Tax (GST) followed with SLE 2.76 billion, while Customs and Excise duties added SLE 1.06 billion.
Taxes on international trade and transport, largely import duties, surged in December with SLE 253.6 million, pushing the annual total to SLE 1.07 billion. Other departmental receipts contributed SLE 1.14 billion, while fees and road user charges brought in SLE 227 million combined.
TSA Revenue and Administrative Fees- The Treasury Single Account (TSA) generated SLE 2.19 billion across the year, with SLE 124.9 million collected in December. Administrative fees and incidental sales added SLE 169 million.
No Foreign Grants Recorded- Notably, the fiscal statement shows no receipts from foreign grants or direct budgetary support in 2025. This means the government relied entirely on domestic revenue streams to finance operations during the year.
The figures highlight both the resilience and limitations of Sierra Leone’s revenue base. While income tax and GST continue to anchor collections, the absence of external grants underscores fiscal pressures on the government to sustain public services and development financing.
