Leadership is coming from people on the frontlines of inequality, not politicians. Governments and leaders must follow their calls to truly #fightinequality. READ MORE

Taxes like VAT and excise duty are paid by the final consumer, meaning individuals are taxed according to what they consume, while direct taxes depend on earnings or business income. - Mr. Aloysious Kittengo, Program Coordinator, Financing for Development, SEATINI

Government increased the Pay As You Earn (PAYE) tax threshold from UGX 235,000 to UGX 335,000, while proposals from stakeholders suggested exempting those earning below UGX 500,000 or UGX 600,000 due to the rising cost of living.- Mr. Aloysious Kittengo, Program Coordinator,
