If we can register 10m taxpayers, we can discuss tax cuts - URA

A broader tax base, URA says, would allow more people to contribute to government revenue and ease the burden on a few individual taxpayers https://t.co/iKSBcwSDDs

📍 Soroti

The Uganda Revenue Authority (URA) met landlords, property owners and other real estate stakeholders in Soroti District for a tax education session on the Electronic Fiscal Receipting and Invoicing Solution (EFRIS), as the growing property market creates a need for reliable income records.

Officials said notebooks and informal records become harder to manage as rental portfolios grow, and that EFRIS offers one digital system to track tenant payments and keep accurate, retrievable recorfs.

Participants were taken through EFRIS registration, issuance of e-receipts and e-invoices and the tax obligations on rental income and property transactions.

Taxation is about more than collecting revenue. It should also help Ugandan businesses grow and remain sustainable.

@URAuganda's @URA_CG highlighted the role of the tax system in supporting business growth and national development.

#EYTaxRetreatUg #ShapeTheFutureWithConfidence

[John R. Musinguzi @URA_CG]

I thank EY Uganda for organising and inviting all key stakeholders for their Inaugural Tax Retreat 2026. At the retreat, I reiterated our ambition to grow Uganda’s tax-to-GDP ratio to at least 20% by the year 2030.

Achieving this goal will require collective action, stronger partnerships and a shared commitment from all stakeholders to build a sustainable and resilient revenue base that supports Uganda’s development.

I wish all the participants an open and fruitful dialogue over the next 3 days of the retreat.
