The embattled Pioneer Easy Bus Company has been given two more weeks to clear the sh8b tax debt.

The Uganda Revenue Authority (URA) has extended the auction date of the company’s 99 Chinese manufactured buses to May 17 after initial pleas for leniency.

Waiswa Abudu-Sallam, the URA debt collection manager, said in a statement that all costs of the auction shall be met by the bus company, further stretching its debt.

“This is to inform you that your request for more time has once again been partially granted. We have decided to delay the sale of your buses for another two weeks,” Abudu-Sallam said in the statement.

“You are, therefore, advised to fast-track the processes through which you plan to have this matter resolved so as to avoid further accumulation of costs and interest,” he added.
