🏛️ How can Uganda improve the administration of Rental Income Tax and Property Rates?
SEATINI, in collaboration with the @mofpedU , with financial support from the @IrlEmbUganda under the #STRIDeprojectUG, is convening a stakeholder validation meeting on the study on the simultaneous collection and management of Rental Income Tax and Property Rates in Uganda.
Rental Income Tax is administered by @URAuganda , while Property Rates are administered by Local Governments. The study examines how greater coordination between the two systems could improve tax administration, information sharing, compliance and revenue mobilisation while considering the roles and responsibilities of both institutions.
The validation meeting is focusing on:
🔹 Validating the study findings, analysis and recommendations.
🔹 Assessing the legal, institutional and administrative feasibility of simultaneous or harmonised administration.
🔹 Examining implications for taxpayers, local revenue mobilisation and fiscal decentralisation.
🔹 Reviewing and refining proposed policy and tax administration options.
🔹 Identifying priority recommendations and a follow-up pathway for consideration and uptake.
The meeting brings together government institutions, Local Governments, private-sector representatives, academia, civil society and other stakeholders to provide evidence, practical experience and technical input.
