Annual tax retainer: your outsourced tax department, for one fixed monthly fee
A retainer puts one tax agent on your file all year: every return filed, every URA letter answered, advice when you need it, and support if URA audits you. You pay a fixed monthly fee, billed quarterly, instead of paying for problems one at a time.
What is a tax retainer?
A retainer is an ongoing arrangement where we act as your tax department. Instead of calling us when something goes wrong, we're already on your file: we know your history, we track your deadlines, and URA's letters come to people who know your business.
It suits companies with several tax heads, staff and regular URA contact, and businesses that have just fixed a tax problem and don't want another.
What this costs you every month it waits
- Deadlines owned by nobody — until the penalty notice assigns ownership
- URA letters sitting unanswered because nobody knows what they mean
- Reliefs and allowances lost because nobody was looking in advance
- Every tax task a separate negotiation, invoice and context reload
The cost of waiting: Ad-hoc engagements fix single problems; they can't prevent the next one. The gap between crisis-mode and managed compliance is measured in penalties, missed reliefs and lost management time — every single year.
Three steps. Zero guesswork.
We onboard
A full compliance health check and clean-up quote if needed. Your calendar, ledger and history move onto our systems.
We run the year
Filings happen without you asking. Letters get answered. Questions get answered within one business day. Quarterly, you see exactly where you stand.
We look ahead
Each year-end: a planning review for the year ahead, a renewal conversation, and a retainer scope that grows only when you do.
A few questions. Your figure — not a rate card.
Built from your tax heads, staff and directors: a fixed monthly fee, from UGX 3,250,000, that costs less than the problems it prevents.

Common questions
An ongoing arrangement where we act as your tax department, for a fixed monthly fee.
Every return for the company and its directors, TCC renewal, the URSB annual return, every URA letter, desk audits on periods we filed, advice all year with no cap, and quarterly reports on your tax position.
Any company that wants us on standby, whether its file is clean or has problems we're fixing. Individuals with several income sources can have a personal retainer too.
Your fee is built from your tax heads and volumes, so we review it whenever they change: a new tax head, more staff, a VAT registration, more directors. Otherwise it stays fixed.
Good. Your accountant keeps the books; we handle tax filing, URA and advice. Many retainer clients work this way.
You can still start. Clearing what was missed is quoted separately, at up to 25% off for retainer clients, while the retainer keeps you current from day one.
Yes. We take over the file with a clear handover of history and open matters.
