TheWkly Analysis

Domestic revenues in FY 2026/27 are projected at Shs 40.090 trillion up from Shs 37.227 trillion in FY 2025/26, according to Uganda’s National Budget Framework Paper for FY 2026/27. This represents a nominal increase of Shs 2.863 trillion. The anticipated growth is attributed to higher economic expansion, a widening tax base, improved administrative tax collection measures and reforms in non-tax revenue collection. Over the medium term, government expects domestic revenues to grow significantly. This will be driven by the introduction of new tax policy measures, enhanced tax administration, improved tax compliance and stricter accountability for tax holidays. Authorities also plan to eliminate exemptions that do not support the industrialization agenda while revenues from the oil and gas sector are expected to rise as the country moves into production.

  • Oil-dependent communities see potential job and infrastructure gains from rising sector revenues, boosting local household earnings by 10-20% post-production.
