Annual tax retainer: your outsourced tax department, for one fixed monthly fee

A retainer puts one tax agent on your file all year: every return filed, every URA letter answered, advice when you need it, and support if URA audits you. You pay a fixed monthly fee, billed quarterly, instead of paying for problems one at a time.

The basics

What is a tax retainer?

A retainer is an ongoing arrangement where we act as your tax department. Instead of calling us when something goes wrong, we're already on your file: we know your history, we track your deadlines, and URA's letters come to people who know your business.

It suits any company that wants us on standby, whether its file is clean or has problems we're fixing. Our job is to keep the company and its directors 100% compliant all year.

Included in every retainer
  • Monthly returns for every tax head, and the company's annual and provisional income tax returns
  • Every director's personal return
  • TCC renewal and the URSB annual return
  • Every URA letter answered, and desk audits on periods we filed
  • Advice all year, not capped
  • Quarterly reports on your tax position

Your fee is built from your own tax heads, staff and directors, from UGX 3,250,000 a month. Pay a year upfront and get one month free.

On standby

Compliant all year: the company and its directors

  • Every return for the company and every director filed on time, so no director's gap blocks the company's TCC
  • Your TCC renewed before a tender or bank asks for it, and your URSB annual return filed
  • URA letters answered by people who already know your file, before the deadline
  • If URA audits a period we filed, we defend it, included in the fee
  • Each June's budget changes applied to your file before they bite
  • Advice whenever you need it, with no meter running
Compared

A retainer or an in-house hire?

Hiring in-house

A salary, benefits and one person's knowledge. Cover for leave and turnover is your problem, and URA representation still needs a registered tax agent.

A retainer

A team of registered tax agents, a fixed fee, cover all year, and representation included. Your accountant can focus on the books.

Where it goes wrong

Without someone on the file

  • Problems fixed once, then the same gaps return
  • URA letters answered late, or not at all
  • Deadlines resting on one person's memory
  • Each new problem priced and explained from scratch

The cost of waiting: Most tax problems we see started as a missed deadline or an unanswered letter, months before anyone noticed.

Getting started

An ongoing arrangement where we act as your tax department, for a fixed monthly fee.

Every return for the company and its directors, TCC renewal, the URSB annual return, every URA letter, desk audits on periods we filed, advice all year with no cap, and quarterly reports on your tax position.

Any company that wants us on standby, whether its file is clean or has problems we're fixing. Individuals with several income sources can have a personal retainer too.

Your fee is built from your tax heads and volumes, so we review it whenever they change: a new tax head, more staff, a VAT registration, more directors. Otherwise it stays fixed.

Quarterly in advance. Pay a year upfront and you get one month free: 12 months for the price of 11.

Your business

Good. Your accountant keeps the books; we handle tax filing, URA and advice. Many retainer clients work this way.

You can still start. Clearing what was missed is quoted separately, at up to 25% off for retainer clients, while the retainer keeps you current from day one.

Desk audits on periods we filed are included: we prepared those returns, so we defend them. Audits of earlier periods are quoted separately, at up to 25% off. You don't face URA alone.

We build the fee for each company from its own tax heads, then quote the group together.

Working with us

Yes. We take over the file with a clear handover of history and open matters.

Tell us about the business. We build the fee from your tax heads, staff and directors, and send a written proposal.
