They threatens if such taxes are not reviewed they will all quit business investment and eventually make them develop permanent hatred towards the current regime of NRM.

Having listened from the traders' concerns ,Ms Beatrice Muzaare the regional URA manager for Mid-Western Uganda, said that income tax assessment and collection exercise in Kagadi district that had sparked off on Monday, will with immediate effect be put on halt as this will pave way for the authority to first sensitize the business community so as to keep them braced with knowledge of how this income tax operates.
