Tax Clarity for Better Decisions
Strategic tax advisory designed to help individuals and businesses understand their obligations, reduce unnecessary complexity, and make more informed financial decisions.
What We Handle
Tax obligations in Uganda change as your income, assets, and business activity grow. Our advisory work keeps you ahead of those changes rather than reacting to them at filing time.
Compliance & Filing
Accurate, on-time filing for individuals and businesses: corporate tax, VAT, PAYE, and withholding tax obligations handled end to end.
Tax Planning
Forward-looking structuring ahead of major transactions, so decisions are made with the tax impact already understood, not discovered later.
Dispute & Audit Support
Representation and preparation if URA raises a query or audit, with documentation organized before it's needed.
Business Structuring
Guidance on the ownership and entity structure that fits your obligations and goals as your business grows.

SMEs & Growing Businesses
Monthly VAT and PAYE compliance, quarterly provisional tax, and structuring advice as you scale.
Corporates
Complex tax positions, cross-border transactions, and dedicated advisory for established companies.
What’s at stake without a tax advisor
“Most tax problems we fix could have been avoided with a single conversation earlier.”
Uganda’s tax environment is active: new obligations emerge as your income grows, your business scales, or your assets change hands. Without someone tracking those changes on your behalf, the cost is usually discovered in arrears.
Late filing penalties
URA imposes automatic penalties on returns filed after the deadline, with penalties that accumulate with each month of delay and are rarely waived without a formal objection process.
Incorrect PAYE deductions
Employers who miscalculate PAYE face assessments for the shortfall, plus interest. The error is usually discovered during an audit, not at filing time.
Missed provisional tax windows
Businesses that skip quarterly provisional tax payments face a penalty calculated on the final liability, paid before the year-end figure is even known.
Wrong entity structure
A sole proprietor operating at scale pays personal income tax rates on business profit. The right structure at the right time changes the effective rate significantly.
Common tax mistakes we see
These aren’t edge cases. They show up repeatedly across individuals and businesses at every stage.
Mixing personal and business tax positions
Informal business owners often continue filing personal returns long after their activity legally constitutes a business. The resulting exposure (unpaid corporate tax, unfiled VAT) typically surfaces during an audit.
We separate the positions and file the right return for the right entity from the start.
Missing VAT registration thresholds
Once turnover crosses UGX 150 million in a rolling year, VAT registration is mandatory. Many businesses cross the threshold without realising it, and the back-liability is significant.
We monitor your revenue position and flag the threshold before you reach it, not after.
Claiming deductions without documentation
Business expenses are deductible in principle. In practice, URA disallows claims that lack proper supporting documentation. A valid expense with missing paperwork becomes a taxable one.
We establish a documentation process so your valid deductions stay valid.
Filing provisional tax as a lump sum
Provisional tax is due in quarterly instalments tied to estimated annual liability. Paying once at year-end, or not at all, triggers a penalty calculated on the full liability.
We plan your provisional schedule at the start of the year and track it every quarter.

Your first consultation
Most people don’t know exactly what to bring or what to expect. That’s fine. Here’s what the first conversation actually looks like.
Tell us what you're dealing with
A short conversation (in person, by phone, or over WhatsApp) to understand your situation before we recommend anything.
Bring what you have
Previous tax returns if you have them, a sense of your income sources, and any URA correspondence. We work with whatever you can gather.
One to two hours
Enough time to properly assess your position. You'll leave knowing exactly where you stand and what the next step is.
Walk away with clarity
A clear picture of your obligations, a sense of any risks or opportunities, and a straightforward proposal if you want to engage us formally.

Registration is completed through the URA web portal, where you apply for a Tax Identification Number. You will need identification documents and, for a business, your registration documents from URSB. The step that matters most is selecting the correct tax heads during registration, since this determines which returns URA will expect from you. A landlord who registers without indicating rental income, or a business above the VAT threshold that does not register for VAT, has a gap from day one. If you are unsure which heads apply, it is worth confirming before submitting rather than correcting afterwards.
