The Gambia’s annual tax revenue has more than double in just three years without broad-based tax increases, according to Finance and Economic Affairs Minister Seedy Keita, who attributed the sharp rise to digital reforms, stronger tax administration and efforts to plug leakages in the revenue collection system. Speaking during an interview on Coffee Time with Peter Gomez, Keita said tax revenue rose from D11 billion in 2022 to D25 billion in 2025, representing an increase of more than 124 percent. “The total tax revenue collected as of 2022 for the whole year was D11 billion. In 2025, three years down the line, total tax collected was D25 billion. In a number of instances, revenue has increased by more than 100 percent, proving there was leakage in those areas,” he said.
