Kikuube district council rejects sugarcane out-grower tax

Kikuube District Council has rejected a proposal to levy local revenue on sugarcane out-growers. The proposal was introduced by members of the District Executive Committee and the technical staff who are looking for means of increasing local revenue. They had proposed a levy of 20,000 shillings on each truck of cane from an out-grower. During the District Council meeting held at the District Headquarters, councilors opposed the tax, arguing that since sugar cane companies pay local service tax, it would be double taxation to levy trucks that transport sugarcane from farmers. #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
