A tax dispute between @mtnug and the Uganda Revenue Authority (URA) @URAuganda over Shs169.9 billion in alleged liabilities from mobile money transactions audited between December 2019 and December 2022.
The conflict stems from URA's failure to issue a formal statutory tax assessment, relying instead on letters and meetings, which the Tax Appeals Tribunal ruled as improper procedure and granted MTN an injunction against enforcement.
MTN challenges both the process and the underlying liability claims, which were revised multiple times during reconciliations, while the airtime-related portion of the audit followed standard assessment steps.

Uganda Railways Corporation's UGX 32.8 billion net loss in FY 2024/25 and UGX 4.6 billion in idle assets due to low rail usage favoring road transport.
Key problems cited include the 2022 procurement of second-hand locomotives for UGX 48 billion bypassing procedures, grounded marine vessels like MV Pamba, and high administrative costs up to 20% of project budgets flagged by the Auditor General.
It references parliamentary PAC findings, stalled SGR initiatives, and investigations into procurement inefficiencies that have led to mounting debt and lost cargo opportunities with neighbors like Kenya and Tanzania.
