VAT rates in Uganda
| 18% | standard |
Worked example
At 18%, a price of UGX 100,000 before VAT becomes UGX 118,000, of which UGX 18,000 is VAT.
The other way round, UGX 100,000 including VAT is UGX 84,746 before it — divide by 1.18 rather than taking 18% off, which is the usual mistake.

Where these rates come from
Rates checked on 30 October 2026. Two published rate tables were compared, and every rate they disagreed on — or that had changed since either was written — was checked against the tax authority or a tax adviser’s published guidance. Rates and the goods they apply to change; confirm with the national tax authority before you file.
