Pre-litigation tax review: know your exposure before URA does, and your case before it goes to court
Before you spend on a Tribunal application or a court case, you need an honest answer: what you're likely to win, what you're likely to lose, and what it would settle for today. We review your tax case independently, alongside your advocates, and give you that answer in writing.
What is a pre-litigation review?
Tax cases are argued on the law but won on the record: the computations, reconciliations and documents behind each figure. A pre-litigation review tests that record the way the other side will, issue by issue, before costs are committed.
It's useful whether you're bringing the case or URA is pressing one against you, and it's worth most before pleadings are filed.
What this costs you every month it waits
- Committing six-figure legal costs to a case with a fatal technical flaw
- Settlement opportunities missed because nobody priced the case honestly
- Advocates arguing from computations that collapse under cross-examination
- Interest compounding on the disputed amount through years of proceedings
The cost of waiting: Litigation locks in trajectories: positions plead, costs mount, and settlement windows narrow. The review is worth most before pleadings close — after that, options only shrink.
Three steps. Zero guesswork.
We review
Full case-file review: assessments, correspondence, pleadings, computations. Independent, privileged and unsentimental.
We report
A written opinion: merits by issue, evidence gaps, cost-benefit of proceeding versus settling, and a recommended strategy.
We prepare
If you proceed: technical schedules, expert input and witness preparation alongside your advocates. If you settle: we negotiate the exit.
A few questions. Your starting figure.
Fixed-fee review first — so the decision to spend more is made with the report in hand, not before it.

Common questions
An independent test of your tax case, issue by issue, before you commit to the Tribunal or court.
As soon as litigation is realistic, and ideally before pleadings are filed. Its value shrinks as positions lock in.
Yes. Disclosed before URA finds it, or before an audit starts, unpaid tax may be settled on the principal alone, without interest or penalties, under an agreement with URA. The relief depends on telling URA something it doesn't already hold, so we check what it can already see first.
URA's 2026/27 programme lets residents disclose foreign income earned in 2024 and 2025 with interest and penalties that may be waived in full if the disclosure qualifies and is made before URA finds the income. We confirm what qualifies and handle the disclosure.
No. Your advocates argue the case; we test and strengthen the tax-technical record it stands on.
You have 30 days to appeal to the High Court. The review tells you whether an appeal is worth it.
Knowing the true strength of URA's position quickly decides whether you fight or settle.
It starts with a conversation, at no charge. The review is then quoted in a written proposal, starting from UGX 4,000,000 per company and priced by the tax heads and years involved. Voluntary disclosure and court-stage support are quoted personally, on what's at stake.
Then you've learned it at the lowest cost, while settlement is still possible on reasonable terms.
