A specialist firm, built on both sides of the table.
We are not a general accounting firm. We are not auditors. We are tax specialists — and we have been doing exactly this, and only this, since 2012.
On your side of the desk since 2012
256 Tax Consultants was founded in 2012 by Odur Micheal, a Licensed Tax Agent registered with TARC under URA. Too many taxpayers lose winnable positions — not because the law is against them, but because nobody on their side understands how the other side works.
The firm was built to be that missing side of the table. Today we serve 75+ clients — individuals, businesses and NGOs — through fifteen standardized services, each with a defined process, clear documentation, clear timelines and clear next steps. That structure, not headcount, is the difference clients feel the moment they walk in.
What we believe
Most clients come to us already in trouble — holding a URA letter they don't fully understand. So we lead with relief, not jargon: we read it, explain it in plain language, and tell you exactly what happens next. Never minimizing a problem; never amplifying fear. Calm competence.
We are not the cheapest, and we don't try to be. Fees buy outcome certainty: a defined process, direct representation before URA, and a firm that has already seen how your situation typically unfolds.

The client journey behind every service
Fifteen services, one system — so however your tax problem started, there's a clear path through it.
Entry
However you arrive — unfiled rental tax, an EFRIS mess, a missing TCC, an NGO compliance gap — a defined service resolves it.
Escalation, if needed
If the problem outgrows routine filing — an audit, a disputed assessment, a court-bound case — a defined ladder exists: Audit Defence → ADR & Appeals → Pre-Litigation Review. You are never out of options.
Destination
Once resolved, the smartest move is never facing the next crisis at all: the Annual Retainer and Tax Structuring turn compliance into a quiet, managed background process.
"However your tax problem started, there's a clear path through it — and a clear way to never be in this position again."
Deliberately specialist
What we don't do
General bookkeeping. Statutory audits. "We-do-everything" accounting. If you need those, we'll happily refer you to firms we trust — and work alongside them on the tax layer.
What we do, completely
Domestic Ugandan taxation: compliance, planning, representation and resolution. Every URA tax head, every URSB obligation that supports it, every stage from first filing to Tribunal. Depth, not breadth.
