An independent reading of the URA guide

UG Vehicle Taxes is published by Potentia Motus Ventures Ltd, Uganda. It helps importers, dealers and buyers see a guide value and the taxes that follow from it.

The company also publishes the Android application UG Vehicle Taxes. The phone app and this website read the same August 2026 valuation file. The website’s tax lines follow URA’s published import example, including withholding tax and the environmental levy. The phone app’s estimator is a narrower on-device calculation and does not replace this page.

Nothing here is a URA assessment, a ruling, or a service of the Government of Uganda. Customs can reclassify a vehicle, use a different month of manufacture, apply an exemption, or use a tariff rate other than 25% for the HS code. The estimate is a way to see the size of the bill before a purchase, using sources a reader can open:

• URA Motor Vehicle Value Guide
• URA valuation-guide downloads
• URA Import & Export FAQs, including the worked tax example and the age table
• URA Taxman registration-fee article, 30 December 2022
