Under the new tax proposals, government plans to charge Shs200 on each litre of cooking oil regardless of whether it’s manufactured in Uganda or imported.

According to Nelly Businge the Advocacy Officer for SEATINI Uganda, this move should only affect imported cooking oil with the aim of promoting local industries.
