Ministers Kasaija, Nankabirwa pinned over sh47b gold tax loss

COSASE issued the summons on Tuesday, June 11, 2024, following a concern raised by the Auditor General (AG) in the December 2023 report, where Uganda Revenue Authority (URA) was faulted for failure to collect taxes on 70,837.91Kgs of gold exports valued at about sh47b.

Parliament has summoned ministers Matia Kasaija (finance) and Ruth Nankabirwa (Energy and Mineral Development) over their failure to make timely regulations on collections of gold tax, which saw Government lose revenue to the tune of sh47b from gold exporters. (New Vision/Files)
