Uganda Revenue Authority selected Denis Kugonza Kateeba for the Commissioner for Domestic Taxes position. The department under his leadership collected Shs 21.25 trillion during the previous financial year. Officials expect the new commissioner to help achieve an ambitious Shs 33.18 trillion collection target for the current fiscal period. Kateeba brings extensive experience as a Fellow Chartered Certified Accountant and former Commissioner for Tax Investigations. His previous work focused on developing fraud detection systems and establishing specialized investigation units for high-risk business sectors.
The appointee previously worked at Uganda National Roads Authority and NAADS before gaining international experience as an external auditor in the United Kingdom. Kateeba started his career with URA's Domestic Taxes division in 2005, making this assignment a return to familiar territory. Authority officials believe his reform-oriented approach and strict anti-corruption stance will support revenue growth objectives. The commissioner plans to modernize digital systems, expand taxpayer registration, and enhance compliance measures to sustain improvements in collections.
