Uganda Revenue Authority Commissioner General John Musinguzi praised citizens who pay their taxes on time. He thanked people for helping the country build a stronger economy. The tax chief asked businesses and individuals to settle any money they still owe. He warned that late payments create extra costs through interest and penalties. Musinguzi said working together helps Uganda move ahead.
The tax agency wants to reach its goal for the current budget year. Officials collected over 22.5 trillion shillings through May 2025. This amount represents 89 percent of their 25.5 trillion shilling target. The agency still needs nearly 3 trillion shillings before the year ends. Meeting this goal depends on people paying what they owe quickly.
Pay-As-You-Earn taxes bring the most money to government coffers. Value Added Tax and Corporate Income Tax also provide major funding. Electronic systems like EFRIS help more people follow tax rules correctly. Digital improvements make filing taxes easier for citizens and businesses.
Tax money pays for hospitals, schools, roads, and police services. These programs help all Ugandans live better lives. The revenue authority launched campaigns to remind people about their duties. Officials use television, radio, and social media to spread their message.
