How Uganda import taxes are calculated

URA does not use your invoice price. The customs value (CIF) of a used vehicle is set by the URA used-vehicle valuation database, updated monthly. On that value: import duty 25%, VAT 18% (on value + duty), withholding tax 6%, environmental levy 50% for passenger vehicles 9 years or older (20% for goods vehicles), infrastructure levy 1.5% and declaration fee 1%, plus fixed registration fees and stamp duty. Passenger vehicles 15 years or older cannot be imported. Figures here are estimates based on the latest URA guideline and an exchange rate of UGX 4,147.66 per USD (2026-11-01); the binding assessment is made by URA at clearance.
