Rental income tax, filed properly — even if you're years behind.
If URA has written to you about rental tax, or you've never filed and you're worried about what that means, this is exactly what we fix. We calculate what you actually owe, file every outstanding return, and deal with URA on your behalf.
What this costs you every month it waits
- Estimated assessments based on URA's assumptions — usually much higher than reality
- Penalties and interest at 2% per month on top of the principal
- Agency notices: URA can instruct your tenants to pay rent straight to URA
- Bank account garnishment for unresolved arrears
The cost of waiting: Interest on unpaid tax accrues at 2% per month, compounding while you wait. An ignored estimated assessment can become an agency notice on your bank account or your tenants being ordered to pay rent directly to URA.
Three steps. Zero guesswork.
We review
You share your TIN and property details. We pull your URA ledger, identify every open year, and tell you plainly where you stand and what it will cost to fix.
We file
We reconstruct the figures, prepare accurate returns for every outstanding period, and file them. Where URA has over-assessed you, we object with evidence.
We represent
We handle all URA correspondence, negotiate penalties and payment plans where needed, and confirm in writing when your ledger is clean.
Two questions. Your figure — not a rate card.
Fees follow the size of the portfolio and how many years need cleaning up — quoted in writing before any work starts.
“Meet 'Nakato' — a Kampala landlord with three years of unfiled rental tax and an estimated assessment of UGX 48M. We reconstructed her actual rental records, filed the three years correctly, and objected to the estimate. Her true liability came to UGX 11M, with penalties substantially reduced under the waiver. Her tenants never knew URA had been involved.”

Before you ask
Individuals pay 12% of gross rental income above the annual tax-free threshold. Companies pay 30% of chargeable rental income after allowable deductions. Which regime applies — and what you can deduct — depends on how the property is owned, which is exactly what we review first.
No — rental tax arrears are a civil matter resolved through filing and payment, not a criminal one in typical cases. The real risks are financial: estimated assessments, 2% monthly interest, and enforcement against your rent or bank account. Filing correctly, voluntarily, puts you in the strongest possible position.
Not necessarily. Estimated assessments are based on URA's assumptions. You have the right to object with evidence within the statutory window. We regularly replace inflated estimates with accurate, much lower figures — but deadlines matter, so act on the letter quickly.
