Uganda has transitioned from the Tax Identification Number (TIN) system to National Identification Numbers (NINs) for tax registration, in a reform aimed at improving tax compliance and raising the country’s tax to GDP ratio from 14% to 20%.
URA Commissioner General John Musinguzi said the move is intended to reduce duplication and curb tax evasion.
The Uganda Revenue Authority will also begin nationwide registration of businesses using applicants’ fingerprints.
The programme was launched on Tuesday by Internal Affairs Minister Ephraim Kamuntu at the NIRA My Identity Expo and Symposium 2026 at Kololo Independence Grounds in Kampala.
