{UAH} Museveni's mobile money tax 'revision' null & void - MPs

Despite President Yoweri Museveni's 'revision' of the mobile money tax from one per cent to 0.5 per cent, parliament says any changes in the tax regime can only come into effect after the amendment of Excise Duty Amendment Act 2018 passed by the House earlier in May. 

The new taxes came into effect on July 1 when telecoms started a one per cent tax levy on each mobile money transaction including on every deposit, every amount sent, received or paid. 
  
The multiple deductions drew outrage from mobile money users who accused government of double taxation drawing the attention of the president. In his communication, Museveni explained that there was a miscommunication, saying the mobile money tax should be 0.5 per cent and not one per cent.
