Respect is all I can earn out of the mannered character

[Kirya Ug 🇺🇬 @kirya_ug]

Ugandans are leaving under captivity. 🥺
Young business entrepreneurs are losing hope for the future.

So much is being grabbed from the one who has so little. Taxes have become UNBEARABLE.
@URAuganda doesn't seem to understand one simple truth:
The fall of one small business is the fall of a small family somewhere.
And the fall of one family is the fall of the whole Nation.

Behind every shop that closes in Kikuubo, in Owino, in Nakasero, in Ntinda - there is a mother who can't pay school fees, a father who can't pay rent, children who will sleep hungry tonight.
You cannot keep squeezing the poor and expect the country to stand.

URA, we are not refusing to pay tax. We are asking for FAIR tax. Tax that lets a business breathe, grow, and employ others.
It's high time traders stand as ONE VOICE for positive change.

[Kirya Ug 🇺🇬 @kirya_ug]

Please @URAUganda EXPLAIN THIS TO US. Is this theft or what? 😡

My brother @jafarifaris2 bought his car at $13,400 - that's about UGX 38M.

He has PROOF. Online transactions. Bank records. Everything is clear.

But URA is now valuing the SAME car at $21,000 and wants him to pay up to UGX 95M in taxes!

How does a car bought at 38M suddenly become 95M in tax alone?

How can the TAX be more than DOUBLE the price of the car itself?

He asked URA, and their answer was "customs valuation may differ from the actual purchase price."

Differ by HOW MUCH? By $7,600? By UGX 57M? That is not a difference, that is daylight robbery.

If a Ugandan shows you proof of purchase, why do you ignore it and invent your own price?

This is why young Ugandans are giving up. This is why businesses are dying. This is why people are leaving the country.

You buy a car to work, to hustle, to move your family - and URA turns it into a punishment.

@URAUganda, we need an answer. Not a template reply. Not "go to touchpoint." A REAL answer.

How do you value a $13,400 car at $21,000?

@kirya_ug Its funny hw @URAuganda IN ITS DEVELOPING UGANDA TOGETHER DOESNT put time into consideration

[Kirya Ug 🇺🇬 @kirya_ug]

Two Ugandas. Two Tax Rules. 🇺🇬

A Ugandan opens a small shop in Kampala - URA is at their door every week. VAT, Income Tax, Trading Licence, fines, closure.

But a foreign company in Namanve, Mbale, Mukono, Kapeeka gets a TAX HOLIDAY, free land, and full protection.

And what do some of them do with that privilege?

They don't manufacture. They just ASSEMBLE. Some even smuggle in finished goods disguised as raw materials and sell them tax-free, while the local manufacturer next door pays full tax on everything.

How is that fair?

@URAuganda squeezes the local hustler to death, but pampers the big investor who pays NOTHING.

That is not "Developing Uganda Together." That is killing local businesses to feed foreign ones.

Ugandan businesses deserve the same tax holidays. Or better - scrap the holidays for everyone and make taxes FAIR for all.

[Kirya Ug 🇺🇬 @kirya_ug]

URA BEAT ITS TARGET. WHO CELEBRATED? …NOT THE TAXPAYER. 😡

Let's break it down:
URA sets a target. Say UGX 30 Trillion.

Then @URAuganda squeezes traders, manufacturers, small shops, boda stages, everyone - until it collects MORE than the target. Say UGX 31 Trillion.

That extra UGX 1 Trillion did not come from heaven. It came from your shop that closed. Your capital that got stuck at the border for 3 months. Your business that URA auctioned over a small tax debt.

And what happens to that extra money?

The employees share it as BONUSES and REWARDS for "over-performance."

So the more businesses they kill 💔, the more they are rewarded💰

Think about it:
Trader suffers = URA staff smiles.
Business collapses = URA staff gets a bonus.
Uganda cries = URA celebrates.

Is that really "Developing Uganda Together"?

A tax body should not be motivated to OVER-TAX. It should be motivated to GROW businesses so that more businesses can pay tax comfortably.

But when your bonus depends on squeezing the last coin from a dying business, you will squeeze until it dies.

Uganda doesn't need a URA that celebrates collecting more from fewer businesses.

Uganda needs a URA that celebrates MORE businesses surviving.

@kirya_ug @URAuganda Problem is ,the energy ura puts in bleeding ugandans with unbearable taxation doest match the energy to follow up hw public service is improving #musinguzimustgo

[Retons @Retons4]

@kirya_ug The only thing URA cares about is how to increase the amount ov tax not considering how the taxes live the business men . When one fails because of the unbearable tax ,they dont care but instead transfer the burden to the one still existing. Enough is enough. #Musinguzimustgo

[Retons @Retons4]

@DeeSandy20 @URAuganda I personally, URA has costed me lives of two close frnds

[Retons @Retons4]

@kirya_ug When at ura that guy was ordering army men to shoot on us . He repeatedly said it he even begged them. “ SHOOT THEM SHOOT THEM PLEASE SHOOT THEM” those were his words
