Expatriate tax ebook - Uganda

This factsheet provides an overview of the Ugandan tax system and planning opportunities. In Uganda, Income tax applies generally to all types of persons who derive income, whether an individual, bodies of individuals, or corporate bodies. Resident persons are taxed on worldwide income, while non-resident persons are taxed only on income derived from sources in Uganda. However, a few exemptions are granted for different categories of income earned either through business activities or employment.

An expatriate taking up employment in Uganda will therefore need to be familiar with the taxing rules and exemptions available within the law, and also how best to secure the appropriate tax saving through proper planning.

Our tax team can help employers and individuals in complying with the Ugandan tax obligations and visa requirements. In addition we can assist individuals and employers in identifying tax planning opportunities, reviewing tax computations and providing compliance services in respect of Ugandan tax obligations.
