The Uganda Revenue Authority (URA) has commended tax agents for supporting the revenue body with the mobilisation of revenue.
Addressing the tax agents’ fraternity at Mestil Hotel in Kampala, URA Commissioner General John Rujoki Musinguzi said they are partners with the tax body.
“The mission of growing our country’s tax to GDP ratio can’t allow us to leave any man behind, and we need all hands on deck to execute it. To work better together we must engage, listen to one another and devise new tactics where things are not working, in doing so we’ll be able to move from the staggering 13%/14% tax to GDP ratio,” he said.
The URA Commissioner IT and Innovation, Robert Mutebi, pledged to deliver a simplified taxpayer experience for every taxpayer as promised in the URA Digital ICT Strategy launched at the tail end of the last calendar year.
The URA’s recognition of tax agents’ contributions highlights the importance of collective action and cooperation in driving sustainable development and fiscal stability in Uganda.
