@LindaEvelyn_N "Uganda's high taxes on local importers are driving up the cost of imported goods, making it difficult for local manufacturers to compete. It's time for fair taxation that supports local businesses and promotes economic growth!

If big businesses like Shoprite left Uganda while others like Picfare shut down due to the ridiculous taxes imposed on goods, imagine what the local trader/businessman is going through?? Dear @URAuganda please be considerate😭😭

It would be interesting if Uganda customs switched to a system where they tax all items includimg garments based on the value of items imported rather than their weight. What do you think about that idea? @URAuganda @KagutaMuseveni

We all need to join the traders in their fight against heavy taxation if not we will all be affected in the long run. In fact expect inflation soon because that will be the end result
