CSOs call for transparency in taxation

TaxationCivil Society Organizations have asked Uganda Revenue Authority to exercise total transparency and equity when taxing them. Speaking at a dialogue between URA and Civil Society, the executive director Anti-Corruption Coalition Uganda Cissy Kagaba said URA is being used to restrain organizations that are critical of government. She said that some of the taxes levied on these organizations are not justified yet most of them are working for charity.

However the commissioner internal audit and compliance at URA Protazio Begumisa has dismissed the allegations, saying that CSOs have specific taxes they pay, but many simply avoid them.
