Ep 4. Eye on Uganda - Double Tax Agreements
Listen now
Description
In this episode, we focus on Uganda which has in recent times engaged in re-looking its double taxation agreements with some of its trading partners. Civil Society Organisations (CSOs) in Uganda have long called for renegotiations of Double Taxation Agreements (DTAs) to curb challenges of Illicit Financial Flows (IFFs) and to maximise domestic resource mobilisation. As a landlocked country in East Africa, Uganda depends on imports that mostly come through the Port of Mombasa in Kenya. For more insights, Ishmael Zulu our host is joined by Robert Ssuuna an independent consultant in Uganda at African Tax, Trade, and Investment Consult.
