The Uganda Tax Calendar
Every deadline on this page has a penalty behind it. Our clients never track any of them — that's rather the point of having us.
Monthly deadlines
VAT return & payment
For all VAT-registered businesses — reconciled against EFRIS before filing.
PAYE return & remittance
Employee income tax deducted at source. Tax-free threshold UGX 335,000/month from 1 July 2026.
Withholding tax remittance
WHT deducted on qualifying payments (e.g. 6% professional fees) remitted with return.
Local excise & sector returns
Where applicable to your sector — confirm your registrations.
Annual milestones
Provisional tax instalments
Companies and individuals pay estimated tax in instalments through the year of income. Dates follow your accounting year — we compute and diarise them per client.
Annual income tax return
Final return and balance due within six months of your year-end (e.g. 31 December for June year-ends).
Penalty waiver deadline
Interest & penalties on principal outstanding at 30 June 2025 are waived if the principal is paid by 30 June 2027. The single best reason to clean up arrears this year.
URSB annual return
Company annual return due yearly — separate from all URA filings.
Rental tax obligations
Rental income filings and payments per current URA practice — landlords on our calendar never miss one.
Dates verified July 2026. Deadlines and thresholds change with each Finance Act — before relying on any date for a filing, confirm the current position (or ask us; confirming deadlines is free).
