URA, WARID Lock Horns Over Sh160m Court Suit

THE Commercial Court has stopped the Uganda Revenue Authority (URA) from collecting over sh160m and enforcing other tax collections from WARID Telecoms, pending the final determination of its main suit.
This followed an application by Muwema & Mugerwa Advocates, the lawyers representing WARID Telecoms.

The telecom company is disputing URA’s orders to Stanbic Bank to pay sh160,918,869 in taxes. Justice Geoffrey Kiryabwire of the Commercial Court also ordered the parties to carry out a reconciliation exercise to determine if any taxes were due and payable to the URA and report back to him on August 26.
