The Uganda Revenue Authority recently issued Public Notices and targeted email inquiries requiring tax-resident persons with offshore income and assets to report that income in Uganda and thereby regularise their tax compliance records. This reflects Uganda’s position as a member of the global forum on tax transparency, which promotes administrative cooperation through exchange of information initiatives for tax purposes and assistance in the recovery of taxes.
