SERVICES

Tax and Legal Advisory

Tax compliance, planning, and dispute readiness for organisations that file with the Uganda Revenue Authority — income tax, VAT, employment taxes, and the commercial or regulatory questions that sit beside them.

Positions you can file, explain, and defend — computed under Uganda’s tax laws, not as a slogan.

Kisaka & Company helps organisations in Kampala and across Uganda compute chargeable income, keep VAT and payroll filings current, and assemble the file when the Uganda Revenue Authority asks questions. Planning stays inside a credible statutory basis. We confirm scope and independence in writing before work starts, especially where we also audit.

Legal on this page means commercial and regulatory support: what a contract, licence, employment arrangement, or donor agreement does to tax and filing duties. We are an ICPAU-licensed CPA firm. Courtroom advocacy and advocate-only instruments sit with your instructed counsel; we prepare computations, grounds, and the objection pack they can use.

At a glance

What you can expect when Kisaka & Company supports your tax and related commercial questions.

URA-facing compliance

Registrations, monthly and annual returns, and working papers that match the ledgers — so VAT, PAYE, withholding, and income tax rest on the same numbers.

Planning with a basis

Structuring, incentives, and related-party charges only where there is a credible basis in tax law. We will not market avoidance without a position that is likely to prevail.

Clear boundary with counsel

We assemble facts, computations, and objection grounds. Representation before a tribunal or court is instructed separately. We do not hold ourselves out as a law firm.

Tax and advisory services

Illustrative scope — the exact services available depend on your tax heads, filing calendar, and independence rules. We confirm deliverables in an engagement letter before work begins.

Corporate income tax

Chargeable-income computations, capital allowances, provisional tax, and final returns under the Income Tax Act, with workings finance and the board can follow at year-end.

Discuss scope

VAT / EFRIS

VAT registration advice, input and output reconciliations, monthly returns, and support for Electronic Fiscal Receipting and Invoicing (EFRIS) so e-invoices stand behind deductions.

Discuss scope

Employment taxes

Monthly PAYE computations and filings, often alongside NSSF schedules and Local Service Tax, plus the tax consequences of employment contracts and benefits.

Discuss scope

Objections & disputes

Document packs, grounds, and objection letters when a URA decision arrives, with a file ready for your counsel if the matter proceeds. Timelines are short; we treat dispute work as a separate mandate.

Discuss scope

Commercial & regulatory support

Tax and filing implications of contracts, licences, URSB steps, donor agreements, and sector permits — coordinated with your advocates where a licensed legal instrument is required.

Discuss scope

Health checks & withholding

Pre-audit or pre-transaction reviews of returns, ledgers, and EFRIS trails, plus guidance on withholding on contractors, professional fees, and non-residents before money moves.

Discuss scope

How we run the engagement

A predictable cadence keeps filings on the URA calendar and gives finance a file they can defend.

Scope & calendar

We agree tax heads, filing dates, and whether we act as adviser or — where appointed — on portal correspondence. Independence versus any audit mandate is confirmed before the first return is touched.

Compute & file

We prepare workings from your ledgers and source documents, reconcile VAT, PAYE, and withholding to the books, and produce return packs for management approval before submission.

Advise & document

Transaction memos, health-check findings, and year-end tax provisions are written with the statutory basis and the uncertainties visible, so the board is not surprised by an assessment later.

Respond & hand over

If URA issues a request or a decision, we index evidence to each ground and draft the objection. Advocacy before a tribunal sits with your counsel. Files remain yours when the engagement ends.
