Message: [QUOTE="Munyaradzi Mafaro, post: 39681, member: 636"] Uganda Revenue Authority held a tax training session for teachers across the Lango region. Andrew Kyakonye from the tax education team led the workshop. School bursars and accountants learned about employee taxes and withholding requirements. The training covered how to use online tax systems for filing and payments. Both public and private school officials attended the educational meeting. Teachers praised URA officers for being helpful and patient during the session. Ogwal Benard from Lokosi Investments said staff members answered questions kindly. Many participants had previously feared tax officials, but this approach was friendly. Ayo Harriet Bogere from Alebtong Kids of Light has finally learned how to calculate withholding tax. She asked URA to do more training sessions for small business owners. URA has changed how it works with taxpayers over the recent years. Immaculate Iyogil leads the Lira tax office and explained the new method. Officers educate business owners first before taking enforcement action. The agency assists individuals in complying with tax regulations through multiple visits. Officials only close businesses after trying education and assistance first. The tax authority collected 14.5 trillion shillings during the third quarter. This amount brings URA closer to its annual target of 18.5 trillion shillings. Strong revenue performance demonstrates that their education programs are effective. The outreach fits under the Tujenge Uganda program. Digital tools and field visits help taxpayers learn proper procedures. [/QUOTE]
