Uganda Revenue Authority targets people who sell land for higher tax collections. Commissioner General John Musinguzi says land sales generate major money for government budgets. Sellers must pay 30 percent income tax on gains over 150 million shillings from business deals. Value Added Tax applies when properties qualify as commercial or part of regular trading activities. Buyers pay 1.5 percent stamp duty based on transaction values during purchases.

Business Vision published his advice during the weekly question column.
Taxpayers must visit the URA web portal and find the Payment section. The system shows a button labeled Refund on wrong payment for these situations. Users need proof of payment documents and written explanations about their mistakes. Officials review each case after receiving complete...

People's Front for Freedom attacked Uganda's three liberation holidays during Heroes Day celebrations Monday. The opposition party called the holidays wasteful and expensive for taxpayers. Leaders say the government spends too much money celebrating President Museveni's rise to power. Uganda marks Liberation Day on January 26, Tarehe Sita on February 6, and Heroes Day on June 9. All three holidays honor the same bush war that brought Museveni's forces to Kampala.
PFF claims the government wastes 5 billion shillings paying heroes and more money organizing ceremonies. The party wants all three holidays combined into one cheaper celebration. Government officials defend the holidays as important for teaching young people about Uganda's...

Some delegates voted multiple times and children as young as 14 cast ballots. Police officers watched everything happen but could not stop the problems.
Mao denies wrongdoing and warns critics about challenging...
