Wakiso Polygamists Taxed More
~
This having polygamists in Uganda taxed more than the rest is
a roundabout way of introducing PROPERTY TAX .
We thank Mr Sulpisio Ssemwogerere and his team for this.
May be His Worship Mayor Ssebaana-Kizito will also learn
from these trail-blazing Ugandans.
Wakiso Polygamists Taxed More
By Christopher Kiwawulo
POLYGAMISTS in Wakiso district are to pay a higher
graduated tax, the district
council has recommended.
This follows a recent inauguration of the Revenue
Mobilisation Team by the district
council, as a new tax collecting body.
The district finance officer, Sulpisio Ssemwogerere, said
the team and every village
chairman and parish chief, would move from house to house
and levy taxes
according to the property one owns.
Polygamists will have to pay more tax in comparison to
others. Each home they
possess, will be assessed separately, Ssemwogerere told
the Nangabo sub-county
executive recently.
The system, that starts with Nangabo, is aimed at
increasing the tax base and
reducing the money spent on hunting tax defaulters in the
district.
Ends
New Vision.
