A Race Against Time: The Tax Waiver Opportunity

The URA tax waiver program is a lifeline for individuals and businesses alike.
It was a quiet morning in Kampala when Emmanuela sat at her dining table, sipping tea and scrolling through her phone. Suddenly, a bold headline caught her attention:

Her heart skipped a beat. She had heard about the Uganda Revenue Authority’s (URA) tax waiver program but hadn’t given it much thought. The announcement reminded her of her outstanding principal tax from June 2023, which had been weighing on her mind. She knew this was the perfect chance to clear her record and start the new year stress-free.
Emmanuela quickly logged into the URA portal and reviewed her tax details. The waiver program was simple yet powerful: pay your outstanding principal tax by December 31st, and all penalties and interest would be wiped clean. It felt like a second chance.
Time, however, was not on her side. With only two days left, Emmanuela needed to act fast. She reached out to the URA’s toll-free line for guidance and received clear instructions. Within an hour, she had arranged the payment.
As she clicked the final confirmation button, Emmanuela let out a sigh of relief. “New Year, New Me,” she thought with a smile. With her taxes now settled, she felt lighter and ready to tackle 2025 with a clear conscience.
In light of the upcoming tax waiver deadline, the Uganda Revenue Authority's (URA) Assistant Commissioner of Public and Corporate Affairs, Mr Robert Kalumba, emphasises that;
"Before you and Jayden ring in the New Year with a fresh start, remember this: New Year, New Me begins with smart decisions today! With just two days left, take advantage of the Uganda Revenue Authority’s tax waiver program. Clear your outstanding principal tax as of June 2023 by December 31st, and we’ll waive all penalties and interest. Don’t let this golden opportunity slip away—step into 2025 with a clean slate!"
