A URA taxpayer account is mandatory for all eligible individuals, organisations and companies in Uganda. Having this allows one to perform the different tasks which require login when it comes to government tax related issues, for example registering a payment for driving permit renew.

Unlike in the past when things were done the manual way without such a need, currently things changed after the establishment of the URA eTax feature where by all tax payers are required by laws to have a new TIN number, whose credentials are used to create the portal account.

A Tax payer account serves functions like motor vehicle registration, validation, transfer, registering taxable payments, filing returns and very many others as per ones requirements and or obligations for example, stamp duty taxes .

Step by step procedures for creating URA taxpayer account.
