Government reviewing social media tax expiry
The
Shs200 daily OTT tax slapped on social media tax is under review by the
government! Before you get excited and start chest thumping, the revision in
the tax does not include the possibility of scrapping the newly found revenue
source.
The permanent secretary
ministry of ICT and national guidance Vincent Bagiire says they are now engaged
in discussions with the ministry of finance and the Uganda Communications
Commission with a view of having the tax payable for 24 hours.
It follows concerns raised by
members of the public over the expiry of the tax at midnight regardless of the
time one pays.
Despite complaints and
protests, the government has stuck to its guns to have the unpopular tax in
place.
