Project Rationale

Improving customs processes is key to faster and easier trade and increased revenue collection for Uganda. Since 2004, URA has implemented a major modernization programme that has seen an increase in the collection of domestic taxes. Customs improvements have been less marked. Building on the successes of the first phase, URA is implementing a number of customs reform initiatives.

The focus is on upgrading of the existing data processing system to bring faster clearance of cargo, improve revenue control and provide up-to-date accurate information on trade in goods.

Project methods

TMA is providing financial support to URA to implement the planned reforms and management support to ensure that the implementation plan remains on track and to the quality expected.
