Learning outcomes

This course provides a practical overview of tax incentives and exemptions available to organisations and investors operating in Uganda. Participants will learn the foundational concepts of tax incentives, exempt persons, and exempt incomes under Ugandan tax laws. The training also explains the process of applying for income‑exempt status—particularly for charitable organisations—and highlights key considerations assessed by the Uganda Revenue Authority (URA). In addition, learners will explore the criteria for qualifying as a strategic investment project and the benefits available to entities that meet these thresholds.

The programme further examines the exemptions provided to players in Uganda’s oil and gas sector, including those under the EACOP Act, the Income Tax Act, and the VAT Act, with emphasis on compliance requirements and practical challenges. Participants will also discuss common issues that arise when dealing with the URA and learn effective strategies for navigating assessments, disputes, and general tax administration processes. By the end of the course, they will have a solid understanding of how to access available incentives while managing compliance risks within Uganda’s tax framework.
