    BOLSTERING REVENUE, BUILDING FAIRNESS: UGANDA EXTENDS ITS TAX REACH, 2014 – 2018 SYNOPSIS After a decade of reforms to boost tax collection, in 2014 the Uganda Revenue Authority (URA) faced up to one of its biggest remaining challenges. Although the agency had significantly improved its internal capacity—along with its ability to collect taxes from registered taxpayers—large numbers of Ugandans paid nothing because they were unregistered or because inadequate compliance monitoring enabled them to underpay. The holes in the system undermined public trust and bedeviled the URA’s efforts to meet the government-mandated target to raise tax revenue to 16% of gross domestic product. The URA then joined other government agencies to bring millions of unregistered citizens into the tax net, and it tightened the oversight of existing taxpayers who were paying less than their fair share. Prime targets were millions of Ugandans who worked in the informal economy, which the government said accounted for nearly half of the country’s economic activity. At the same time, the URA set up operations to go after wealthy and politically connected individuals who avoided paying their full tax load, and it created a separate unit to press government departments that failed to remit to the URA the taxes they collected, such as withholdings from employees. The URA’s program achieved strong gains on all three fronts and thereby helped increase the country’s tax-to-GDP ratio to 14.2% in the 2017–18 fiscal year from 11.3% in 2013–14. Just as important, the program made significant progress toward a fairer distribution of the tax burden for Ugandans across all economic levels.

  • The Loading Dock
    March 2016 The Loading Dock Ps 68:19—Blessed be the Lord who daily loads us with benefits! Dear Friends and Family, It is dry season here in Kampala, Uganda, which brings lots of sun and heat! Unfortunately, dry season can also bring a lack of food to many households in areas like Karamoja who rely on the rains for their crops. We continue to have the opportunity to fly teams to evaluate the needs and help to provide necessary food supplies. In one of the villages of Karamoja called Kaabong, we have been flying for the Baptist mission. After many years of ministry the missionaries were beginning to become quite Taking off from Kaabong Airstrip discouraged at the lack of fruit. However, this past summer they began seeing many people turn to Christ. Ministry and church are very different from a normal town setting as many of the “villages” are families that live in mud or thatch huts which are surrounded by thorns. Our idea of traditional church buildings simply don’t work, and the Baptist IMB (International Mission Board) teams have learned to do church in a communal family setting. The gatherings of elders often lend themselves to discipleship times. However, these teams are very isolated from towns where they can get supplies and rely on MAF for access to the outside world. IMB teams and younger missionaries often come here for training in remote living. A Karamajong village — the center is for the cattle to be guarded at night Other organizations we fly to Karamoja have also been active in helping communities to live in peace and have food and water stability.

    NOTICE TO THE PUBLIC ON MARRIAGE REGISTRATION Uganda Registration Services Bureau (URSB) wishes to inform the general public that all marriages conducted in Uganda MUST be filed with the Registrar of Marriages. The public is reminded that only church marriages conducted in Licensed and Gazetted places of worship are registrable and it is the duty of the licensed churches to file a record of the celebrated marriages with the Registrar of Marriages by the 10th day of every month, the marriages conducted under the Islamic Faith and the Hindu faith must be registered within three months from the date of the marriage and the Customary marriages must be registered at the Sub-County or Town council where the marriage took place within six months from the date of the marriage. Wilful failure to register marriages celebrated by the Marriage Celebrants violates the provisions of the Marriage Act and criminal proceedings may be instituted against them for failure to perform their statutory duties. The Bureau takes this opportunity to appreciate all Marriage Celebrants who are compliant. The public is hereby informed of the compliance status of Faith Based Organizations as at January 2021.
