With the increasing focus on governance and regulation, tax compliance has never been so important. Compliance failure represents not only a financial risk — financial penalties and a possible increase in the tax charge — but also a serious business risk, as it can damage a company’s reputation with the authorities and the public. Businesses need to be able to manage multi-territory compliance requirements and keep abreast of changes in local legislation that affect these requirements.
PwC Limited, the largest tax practice in Uganda, focuses on tax strategy, planning and compliance. Our professionals develop and deliver tax solutions across a diverse range of industries including financial services, consumer and industrial products, infrastructure and government.
