Reject Proposal To Tax Agriculture Inputs In The Budget FY2014/15
-

Petition by
Kampala, Uganda
-
We the citizens of Uganda are concerned about the impact of these taxes on agriculture, food costs, income generation, livelihoods and subsequently food security in Uganda.
We feel that they are a reflection of our Government's deliberate steps to make it harder for the poor small scale farmers to make a living and access inputs for farming purposes.
We therefore want to raise #OneMillionSignatures and more to bring this petition before the Speaker of the Parliament of Uganda and the August House
RT. HON. REBECCA ALITWALA KADAGA, The Speaker Of the Parliament Of Uganda
Sincerely,
[Your name]
1 million signature campaign over taxes on agriculture inputs launched
In a press conference held today in Kampala and attended by over 100 farmers, CSBAG members and Members of Parliament, a 1million signatures campaign to petition Parliament to drop the tax proposal on agriculture inputs was launched. Farmers present at the press briefing included fishermen, poultry farmers, cattle keepers and many others from as far as Katakwi, Kibuku, Budaka, Pallisa, Mityana, Kibaale Wakiso and many others.
Reading the statement on behalf of farmers Christine Adong small scale farmer from Kibuku said: “We are concerned about the impact of these taxes on agriculture, foods costs livelihoods and subsequently food insecurity in Uganda. We feel that they are reflection of our Government’s deliberate steps to make it harder for the poor small scale farmers to make a living and access inputs for farming purposes.”
The press conference which was organized by civil society organizations under the Civil Society Budget Advocacy Group (CSBAG) and ActionAid Uganda gave farmers an opportunity to express their concerns about the proposed taxation on agriculture inputs urging government to look for alternatives ways of getting revenue.
One of the recommendations by farmers and backed by the legislators to government is to scrap tax holidays for multi-national companies. The farmers also want government to ensure tax compliance by the multinationals. “We want government to ensure that multi-national companies comply in paying taxes and indigenous companies.” Adong stated--
