Let me have a go at explaining ....WITHHOLDING TAX IN UGANDA.
HOW IT WORKS
When the government needs to collect income tax, they sometimes do it by withholding some of the money from the source of the income instead of from the person who is getting paid.
Can someone PLEASE explain to me like I’m 5 what WITHHOLDING TAX is. And why should it apply to an imported car. Ditto VAT.

How taxes are charged on imports, for example, a 65-inch TV costing UGX 1,700,000 before tax.
The taxes applicable to imported TVs are as follows:
a) Import Duty of 36% of the purchase price
b) VAT of 18% (Import Duty + Purchase price)
c) Withholding Tax

You raised pertinent issues regarding the EFRIS application. However, I would like to point out the following:
There are two methods of accounting for VAT:
The invoice (Accrual) basis
The invoice (Accrual) basis is the default method for tax
Yes EFRIS is not a tax but here are some facts you should know about the unfair application of EFRIS system and how it’s affecting traders;
1. URA now only recognizes EFRIS generated purchases 4 purposes of assessing allowable deductions used in calculating chargeable income; 1/3
