The Ministry of Finance has announced plans to collect 1.9 trillion shillings in taxes for the five proposed tax bills, once they are passed into law, in the next financial year. The new taxes to be levied include 5% of land sales in city centers and municipalities across the country, as well as a 100 shilling tax levy on every liter of petrol and diesel. Additionally, there will be an extra 300 shillings tax on paraffin. However, some MPs argue that Ugandans still use paraffin for lighting and this tax would be unfair. The tax proposals are projected for the next financial year 2024/2025. The Ministry of Finance and Uganda Revenue Authority appeared before the finance committee to scrutinize the tax bills, which were recently tabled in parliament. #NTVNews #NTVTonight #NTVWeekendEdition Subscribe to Our Channel For more news visit http://www.ntv.co.ug Follow us on Twitter http://www.twitter.com/ntvuganda Connect with us on Messenger via m.me/NTVUganda

Two suspected armed robbers have been arrested over charges of robbing 115 million from a female hardware attendant who was on her way to the bank with the money. Police intercepted the suspects at Nalya, Kira Municipality, after a shootout in which one of the suspects was injured. The robbers, who were traveling in a Toyota Noah vehicle, had trailed the female hardware shop attendant from Lungujja, Lubaga Division, before abducting her and driving all the way to Kiwanga, Bweyogerere, Wakiso District, where they abandoned her. A group of boda boda riders gave chase before being joined by the police, who eventually cornered them at Naalya. #NTVNews #NTVTonight #NTVWeekendEdition Subscribe to Our Channel For more news visit http://www.ntv.co.ug Follow us on Twitter http://www.twitter.com/ntvuganda Connect with us on Messenger via m.me/NTVUganda

Uganda’s Energy Minister, Ruth Nankabirwa, has announced that the country will begin placing orders for the first consignment of fuel and fuel products starting June 2024 through the newly contracted firm, Vitol Bahrain EC, which was recently awarded a five-year contract.

This comes as the country grapples with new tax proposals in the Excise Duty Amendment Bill 2024, which could potentially increase pump prices to 7000 shillings per litre. She made these remarks at the inauguration of the new board of directors, chaired by former DFCU bank executive, Mathias Katamba. #NTVNews #NTVTonight #NTVWeekendEdition Subscribe to Our Channel For more news visit http://www.ntv.co.ug Follow us on Twitter http://www.twitter.com/ntvuganda Connect with us on Messenger via m.me/NTVUganda
