UFZEPA Advocates VAT Reforms to Enhance Uganda Free Zone Competitiveness

The Uganda Free Zones and Export Promotions Authority (UFZEPA) is advocating for VAT reforms, specifically the application of zero-rated VAT, to boost the competitiveness of businesses in Uganda's free zones. These zones contributed 9% of Uganda's estimated $18 billion export earnings in the 2025/26 financial year. The proposed tax changes aim to strengthen the export sector under the free zone scheme.
