Navigating the tax landscape in Uganda can be complex. Tax Savvy, your trusted tax advisor, is here to equip you with a foundational understanding of your tax obligations. This guide provides a brief overview of some key Ugandan taxes:
- Income Tax: Applicable to all individuals and businesses earning income in Uganda. Individual tax rates are progressive, meaning they increase with income level. Businesses pay a flat corporate income tax rate.
- Pay As You Earn (PAYE): Employers are required to withhold PAYE from employee salaries and remit it to the Uganda Revenue Authority (URA) on a monthly basis.
- Value Added Tax (VAT): A consumption tax levied on the supply of most goods and services. Businesses registered for VAT collect VAT from customers and remit it to the URA, minus VAT paid on their own business purchases.
- Withholding Taxes: These are taxes withheld at source on specific payments, such as rent, dividends, and interest. The withholder remits the tax directly to the URA.
Tax Savvy's Tips:
- Registration: Businesses exceeding the URA registration threshold must register for taxes, including VAT and income tax.
- Record Keeping: Maintain accurate records of income, expenses, and taxes paid.
- Filing Deadlines: Adhere to tax filing deadlines and payment schedules to avoid penalties.
- Tax Savvy Expertise: Our team of tax professionals can guide you through complex tax matters, ensuring compliance and maximizing tax efficiency.
