Original post
The Uganda Income Tax (Amendment) Bill, 2026 proposes a change to the resident individual income tax bands by exempting chargeable income up to Ushs 4,020,000 (up from Ushs 2,820,000) and introducing revised progressive marginal rates of 20%, 25%, 30% and 40% on higher income bands.
If enacted as proposed, these changes will take effect from 1 July 2026, at the start of the 2026/27 tax year. The changes have not yet been promulgated.
