The mobile tax office is a URA bus code–named Tujenge Uganda that works as revenue mobilization vehicle, reaching out to taxpayers in the remotest areas of Uganda where URA is not stationed. It was launched in July 2021.
While covering kilometres upon kilometres, taxpayers are taught the dynamics of taxation, their responsibilities, rights and obligations. Ordinarily, the bus parks in a destined area and opens office to transact business like any URA office. Usually, there’s a team of URA officers that make door-to- door visits to businesses that cannot visit the bus station
