From Uganda-
Kampala City Council (KCC) has resolved to close the premises of tax defaulters including the Anglican Church Provincial Offices and Rubaga Diocese offices following the expiry of a grace period.
Mr Hakim Kashangire, the director of Bemja Investments Ltd, which KCC contracted to collect the contentious property and ground rent tax on its behalf in Lubaga Division, said city council was losing over Shs3 billion in uncollected taxes in the division alone.
According to Mr Kashangire, the Anglican Church and Rubaga Archdiocese owe KCC Shs24 million and Shs84 million in uncollected property tax respectively. The current city regulations require owners of commercial buildings to pay property tax annually. The Local Government Act empowers districts and urban authorities to attach property of the defaulters to recover its money.
