Revenue Intelligence & Strategic Operations Unit.

Let’s drive growth, optimize insights, and stay ahead together this November as we make #EveryCoinCounts

We recently received complaints from several importers of used clothes regarding concerns of unfair competition in the market. The complaint suggested that several competitors were selling their products at a significantly lower price. This raised our suspicion of possible tax evasion and we did an analysis on the information gathered. We found their complaints valid hence our immediate intervention to close this revenue loophole. We asked @URAuganda to intercept container number UETU 6204750 and PCIU 9207977 that and when they did we dispatched our team for re-verification, indeed we found inconsistence in weight declaration. The importers had under declared weights by 4-5 tonnes with an intention to evade tax worth 15-20 millions per container. This scheme has been ongoing for many years and based on our analysis for similar imports from January to September,2024, the @GovUganda has lost approximately 5 billions in taxes. We have urged @URAuganda to focus more on weight Bridge tickets and enhance physical verifications. This will help ensure that all imports are properly accounted for and that fair competition is upheld within the sector. #EveryCoinCounts

@Judeyatuwa1 Releasing consignments provisionally for trade facilitation after signing Deeds of Indemnity doesn’t mean a matter has been resolved. A provisional release must have a time frame

We received information as regards the misclassification of Poultry/Animal feed concentrates as Premixes by several companies. This has led to our recent interception of 03 containers belonging to Koudijs Uganda SMC Limited. The revenue to be recovered from this client alone is over UGX 100 billion. We are doing further analysis of other importers on the same. Premixes attract 0% import duty under HSCODE 2309.90.10 while concentrates attract 10% import duty under HSCODE 2309.90.90. @URAuganda has been formally informed of this intervention #EveryCoinCounts

I haven't got it right. @StateHouseUg & @URAuganda should clarify on the mandate of this unit.

@David_Kalemera1 @RevIntel_Unit @StateHouseUg @KagutaMuseveni Why would you choose to confuse the public.. we have URA

@David_Kalemera1 @RevIntel_Unit @StateHouseUg @KagutaMuseveni Don’t confuse the public, URA has a whole department for communication! You are not URA! Just do your work, which is not tax collection of course!

@TonyNatif @URAuganda @StateHouseUg @David_Kalemera1 .@TonyNatif, Please to clarify more, our office seeks only tax related information on evasion, unfair treatment, noncompliance as per our mandate. Thank you.

I think this is the part where we ask if we should continue using the @URAuganda handle, email addresses they’ve been using to send us tax related emails or even their phone numbers. Has @StateHouseUg taken over the functions of Uganda Revenue Authority? Mr @David_Kalemera1, seeing as yours is one of the addresses to which “all tax related information, inquiries and correspondences should be exclusively directed, effective immediately” , will you please also avail your bank account details so we can make our tax payments there? We don’t wanna run foul of your directive, Sir! 😩

@asiimwefelix22 Hello @asiimwefelix22, we are here to ensure a fair tax administration system for every Ugandan. Kindly visit our website here risounit.com

Hmmm. Is that not URA's mandate?

@geoffobbo13 .@geoffobbo13, For those who wish to give us tax evasion, unfair treatment related information can use the channels highlighted. Thank you! Kindly check out via risounit.com

"Effective immediately, all tax related information, inquiries and correspondences should be directed exclusively through the following official channels" No legal citations whatsoever on why these are the official channels and not URA.

Happy 80th Birthday Our Revolutionary Leader @KagutaMuseveni 💛
