Both Resident and non-resident companies are assessable (subject) to tax in Uganda on their income that is derived from Uganda while resident companies are subject to tax on their worldwide income. Income tax paid by companies is referred to as corporation tax.

Income tax on companies is imposed under the Income Tax Act on every person who has chargeable income for any year of income. The current rate of tax applicable to companies is 30% charged on the profits from business (Chargeable Income). The chargeable income for both resident and non-resident companies is taxed at this rate.
