Pay what the law requires — not a shilling more

Reduce your tax bill legally. Most businesses overpay without knowing it.

There is nothing improper about arranging your affairs to pay the least tax the law allows — the improper thing is doing it by guesswork. We find the reliefs, allowances, timings and structures Ugandan law already gives you, and turn them into a written, defensible plan.

Why act now

What this costs you every month it waits

  • Capital allowances and reliefs left unclaimed, year after year
  • Transactions structured expensively when a lawful cheaper route existed
  • Owner remuneration set up in the most-taxed possible way
  • Growth decisions (new branch, new company, new asset) taken tax-blind
!

The cost of waiting: Planning only works in advance. Once the year closes, the transaction signs, or the audit opens, most options are gone — the difference between planning and regret is usually a few months.

How it works

Three steps. Zero guesswork.

01

We review

A structured review of your returns, accounts and plans for the next 12–24 months. We map every position against the reliefs available.

02

We plan

You receive a written plan: each opportunity quantified in shillings, each risk flagged, each recommendation grounded in the law.

03

We implement

We work with you (and your accountant or lawyer) to implement — then review annually, because the law changes every Finance Act.

Your personalized quote

Two questions. Your figure — not a rate card.

Planning is scoped to the size and complexity of what we're planning — and judged against the savings it finds.

Tax Planning & Advisory — the situation this service resolves, in a real Ugandan setting

“Meet 'Byaruhanga Group' — a family trading business about to buy UGX 600M of warehouse and equipment, financed half by loan. Structured the default way, the allowances and interest would have been claimed wrongly and part disallowed. Planned properly — right entity, right split, right timing — the first two years' tax saving exceeded UGX 60M, fully documented.”

Quick answers

Before you ask

Yes. Using reliefs, allowances and structures the law provides is lawful and expected — courts have long distinguished it from evasion, which is concealing facts. Everything we recommend is documented and disclosed appropriately.

Your accountant records and reports what happened. Planning happens before things happen — shaping the transaction, the timing and the structure while there are still choices. The two roles work best together.

It varies too much to promise a number. Common wins: unclaimed capital allowances, remuneration restructuring, financing structure, and timing of major purchases. The review quantifies your case before you commit to anything.
