URA Teams Up with Catholic Church for Tax Awareness and Charity Walk

By Amos Ssemuwemba

In a collaborative effort to foster tax compliance and support community initiatives, the Uganda Revenue Authority (URA) and the Catholic Church have partnered to promote tax education, a critical element for Uganda’s national development.

The Uganda Revenue Authority (URA) Commissioner General, John R. Musinguzi, expressed his gratitude to His Grace Archbishop Paul Ssemogerere for a warm reception during their meeting yesterday afternoon.

“I am grateful for our strong partnership with him and the Catholic Church in raising tax education awareness,” Musinguzi said. “Together, we aim to build a culture of tax compliance that drives national development and uplifts our communities.”

Musinguzi highlighted the importance of educating citizens about the benefits of paying taxes and how these funds contribute to public services and infrastructure. The URA has embarked on several initiatives to engage with various sectors of society, including religious institutions, to deepen this message.

In addition to the tax education drive, Musinguzi announced that he has been nominated as the Chief Fundraiser for the upcoming Nsambya Babies Home Charity Walk, an event organized by the Kampala Archdiocese. “This partnership reflects our shared commitment to community and service,” he noted.

The charity walk, slated for Saturday, September 28th, aims to raise funds for the Nsambya Babies Home, an institution that provides care and support to vulnerable children. Musinguzi called upon the public to join in this noble cause. “Together, we can bring hope and a brighter future to these children. Join us this Saturday as we walk for this noble cause.”

The partnership between URA and the Catholic Church underlines the power of collaboration between government bodies and faith-based organizations in addressing both societal and national challenges. The charity walk is expected to attract a large number of participants, all united in their effort to make a positive impact on the lives of the children at Nsambya Babies Home.
