Tax assessment and collection exercise in Kagadi district has been put on halt until the business community is fully sensitized.

The resolution was reached at today morning during heated verbal meeting held at community hall in Kagadi town council between URA officials, Kagadi district leadership and the business community.

This follows mixed reactions that recently rose from members of Kagadi community over the exorbitant income tax charges that were impose onto business persons.

Speaking before URA officials, charged and disgruntled business owners, expressed their dissatisfaction towards  Uganda revenue authority and its staff for ambushing and imposing  high tax fares onto their businesses, describing such charges as exploitative and exorbitant moreover without first sensitizing them.

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. 

She has said the sensitizing exercise is due to kickoff next week, with optimism that this will enable the traders to be tax compliant as she rubbished off allegations that they ambushed into the district.

Meanwhile in an exclusive interview with journalists shortly after the meeting, Local leaders led by the RDC Kagadi, Lilian Ruteraho and business traders said at least a leveled ground between them and URA has been created and have tasked the authority and government to review the tax charges that they had earlier imposed upon them, bearing it in mind that their business were affected by Covid-19 pandemic.
