{UAH} OTT scrapped, Ugandans to start paying internet tax tomorrow

Starting July 1st, 2021, all internet subscribers in Uganda will have to pay a new 12 percent tax on internet bundles.

The new tax was introduced by Parliament through the Excise Duty (Amendment) Act 2021.

The Act also repealed the article in the Excise Duty Act which required Ugandans to pay shs200 daily as Over the Top (OTT) tax so as to be able to access social media platforms including WhatsApp, Facebook, Twitter and Instagram among others.

Starting tomorrow, OTT will be dropped.
