A URA audit is winnable — if you respond like someone who knows how audits work.
Our founder, Odur Micheal, spent close to a decade inside URA working on assessment, audit and enforcement. When URA audits you, the team defending you knows exactly how the other side builds its case — because he used to build them.
What this costs you every month it waits
- Assessments issued on URA's assumptions when responses are late or weak
- Penalties layered onto every adjustment the audit sustains
- Audit scope expanding into other years and other tax heads
- Escalation from audit to investigation where conduct raises suspicion
The cost of waiting: Audit timelines are statutory and short. Every deadline missed narrows your options — and an unanswered audit becomes an assessment, which becomes enforcement. If you have a letter, the clock is already running.
Three steps. Zero guesswork.
We assess
Same-day review of the audit letter and your records. You get an honest exposure estimate and a defence strategy before URA hears a word from you.
We respond
Every submission prepared and quality-controlled by us. Every meeting attended with you or for you. Every deadline met, every position documented.
We resolve
We negotiate the findings down to what the evidence actually supports, settle penalties and terms, and obtain written closure.
Two questions. Your figure — not a rate card.
Audit defence is scoped by the audit's breadth and the amounts at stake — quoted after the free case assessment.
“Meet 'Kasozi Beverages' — a distributor facing a comprehensive audit with a preliminary finding of UGX 310M across VAT and income tax. The finding rested on a flawed bank-deposit analysis that double-counted inter-account transfers. We rebuilt the analysis, evidenced it, and the final agreed position closed at UGX 41M with penalties waived on the principal areas. The audit closed in four months.”

Before you ask
A records request is usually the opening step of a desk review or audit. How you respond shapes everything after it. Before sending anything, get the letter assessed — the same day if possible. The assessment costs nothing.
You can — the question is whether you should. Auditors do this every day; you don't. Unrepresented taxpayers routinely concede positions that were defensible and volunteer problems that weren't being asked about. Representation typically pays for itself in the final numbers.
It means your defence is designed by someone who spent close to a decade conducting assessments and audits inside URA — who knows the manuals, the escalation triggers, the internal pressures and what closes files. You're not guessing how the other side thinks.
