A stress-free journey

Three steps from worry to a clean ledger

Every engagement — from a single rental return to a Tribunal appeal — follows the same disciplined path.

01

Diagnose

We read your URA position the way an assessor would — every open year, every accruing penalty — and tell you plainly where you stand.

02

Resolve

Filings corrected, assessments challenged, penalties negotiated, systems fixed. A defined process with clear timelines, documented at every step.

03

Protect

Calendars, retainers and planning so the problem never returns — and URA's next letter finds a file that's already clean.

Who we help

Find yourself below — your problem, your risk, your way out

We are not a general accounting firm, and we are not auditors. We do one thing: taxation — for the people URA actually writes to.

Property Owners & Landlords

Your risk: URA now matches land registry, utility and tenant records — unfiled rental years surface as inflated estimated assessments. Your path: back-filing at true figures, penalties negotiated, then quarterly filing that keeps it quiet for good.

How we help →

SMEs & Growing Businesses

Your risk: one missed VAT, PAYE or WHT cycle starts penalties compounding at 2% a month; the jump past UGX 150M catches most by surprise. Your path: the whole monthly cycle handled, EFRIS kept clean, thresholds planned ahead.

How we help →

Large & Corporate Businesses

Your risk: businesses above UGX 150M are the ones URA watches closely — computations, EFRIS-VAT matching and audits. Your path: defensible corporate compliance, planning and audit-ready files. For MDs and finance managers who own the tax number.

How we help →

NGOs & Non-Profits

Your risk: exemption ≠ exempt from everything — PAYE and WHT gaps surface exactly when a donor audit arrives. Your path: exemptions secured, filings clean, a compliance file donors can open without fear.

How we help →

High-Net-Worth Individuals

Your risk: wealth held in default structures is the most-taxed, most-exposed configuration available. Your path: structuring, asset protection and succession — lawful, documented, discreet.

How we help →

Company Directors & Finance Managers

Your risk: tax failures reach board level — blocked TCCs, personal exposure, deals that stall on compliance. Your path: the retainer that makes URA someone else's job, with reporting you can table.

How we help →

Why 256 Tax Consultants

We know how URA thinks — because we've sat where they sit.

Client outcomes

Trusted by Ugandan businesses

“Three years of unfiled rental tax and a UGX 48M estimated assessment. 256TC filed the truth: UGX 11M, penalties negotiated down. My tenants never knew.”

N
'Nakato'Landlord, Kampala

“Our VAT returns hadn't matched EFRIS for a year. They cleaned up 14 months and took over the cycle. The TCC renewal went through without a single query.”

K
'Kirabo'Furniture business, MD

“URA's audit opened at UGX 310M. It closed, evidenced and negotiated, at UGX 41M. Worth every shilling.”
