New taxes for fuel, construction materials, mineral water
You will now pay an extra 100 shillings tax for every liter of petrol you buy. This as Parliament passed the Excise duty amendment Bill 2024. Legislators rejected a proposal to add 300 shillings to every litre of kerosene and a levy of 50 shillings on every litre of mineral water replacing the proposal by government for 75 shillings.MPs have urged Ugandans to tighten their belts as an increase of the tax on fuel will lead to an increment in prices of fuel and commodities. The excise duty amendment Bill had been stood over last week because of a disagreement on increases in fuel prices.
