MUSEVENI REFUTES CLAIMS OF OVER TAXATION BY THE BUSINESS COMMUNITY

President Yoweri Museveni has called on the Business community to support national development by embracing taxation and import substitution. This was at an open-air session on matters of taxation and trade with the business community at Kololo independence grounds. Responding to concerns raised by the traders representatives, President Museveni said the Electronic Fiscal Receipting system (EFRIS) is relevant in Government’s developmental aspirations since it achieves three important things and these are; ore tax collection, fair spread of tax and protects local factories.
