| Several traders in Uganda's capital, Kampala, have closed their businesses on Tuesday in protest at the enforcement of a controversial tax invoicing system, local media reports. | |
| Many businesspeople believe the new system will complicate their operations and result in them paying more taxes. They also say the software is too expensive. | |
| The Electronic Fiscal Receipting and Invoicing System (EFRIS) was launched by the tax agency in January 2021 to track sales and taxes in real-time. It has only recently been enforced among small-scale traders, sparking protests. | |
| Last week, traders in Kampala and other major cities held two-day demonstrations against the enforcement of the system. | |
| Uganda's Revenue Authority has pushed ahead with the system despite traders' concerns, arguing that its adoption will curb tax evasion and make it easier for businesses to file tax returns. | |
