One TIN. One check. The truth about your URA position — in plain language.
Most tax problems announce themselves years late. Your URA ledger already knows: unfiled returns, penalties quietly accruing, mis-posted payments, obligations you didn't know you had. A free Tax Health Check reads it all and tells you — before URA does it for you.
You can't fix a position you can't see.
Your Taxpayer Identification Number carries a full history at URA: every registration, every return filed or missed, every payment and where it was posted, every penalty and interest charge ticking upward. Most taxpayers have never actually looked at it — and URA is under no obligation to warn you before enforcement.
The TIN Health Check is our diagnostic product. We review the ledger line by line, the way an assessor would, and translate it into a one-page report: what's clean, what's missing, what it costs today, and what it will cost if you wait. No jargon. No alarmism. Just your real position.
For most people, the news is better than they feared — and where it isn't, knowing early is precisely what makes it affordable to fix.
The cost of waiting: Ledger problems compound silently: interest at 2% per month, penalties per unfiled return, and estimated assessments that arrive without warning. Every month of not-knowing has a price.
What this can cost you
- Penalties and interest accruing on obligations you don't know exist
- Estimated assessments arriving without warning
- TCC rejections at the worst possible moment — a tender, a loan, a deal
- Payments you actually made, posted to the wrong period and 'owing'
- Registrations you forgot (an old business, a dormant obligation) still accruing
- Enforcement — agency notices, garnishment — as the first 'notification' you receive
What people assume
“No news from URA is good news. If there were a problem, they would have contacted me.”
What's actually true
URA's systems accumulate issues silently and act on them in batches — often triggered by your own TCC application, a tender check, or a data-matching exercise. By the time contact comes, it's an assessment, not a conversation. Checking first costs nothing; being checked first can cost plenty.

The entry point is free — because knowing where you stand should never be the barrier.
“Meet 'Dr. Achen' — a consultant physician who assumed her hospital's payroll covered everything. Her TIN check found an old consultancy registration with four years of unfiled returns and UGX 7M in accumulating penalties — and a WHT credit she didn't know she had. Net position after clean-up: she owed less than half the penalties that had accrued, and now files clean each year.”

FAQs — Tax Health Check
The rapid check is genuinely free: we review your headline ledger position and walk you through it. The comprehensive written report is UGX 500,000 — credited back in full if you engage us to fix anything it finds.
Completely confidential. Reviewing your ledger is a normal taxpayer action — it does not flag, trigger or notify anything. You are simply reading your own record, with a professional translating it.
Then you'll know precisely what it is, what it costs today, and the cheapest lawful path out — including the current waiver of older interest and penalties where it applies. Serious problems found early are consistently the cheapest ones to fix.
It might mean you have obligations without registration — or that you're fine. Either way the check still works: we assess what you should be registered for and set it up correctly from the start.
The portal shows you data; the check gives you judgment. Knowing that a balance exists is different from knowing whether it's correct, whether it's disputable, what it will grow into, and what to do first. That's the part we add.
Not sure where you stand? Let's find out — before URA does it for you.
A 30-minute consultation tells you exactly where you stand, what it will cost to fix, and what happens if you wait. No obligation.
