Following the introduction of the new online web-based excise duty return effective November 01, 2024, Uganda Revenue Authority (URA) informs all taxpayers of excise duty that the filing due date return of November 2024 which was due on December 15, 2024 has been extended to December 31, 2024 to allow taxpayers ample time to transition from the previous Ms. Excel based return to the new online web-based return.

As part of the transition to the new web-based return, all taxpayers dealing in excisable goods or services are reminded to note the following;

1. All their products or services should be registered on the new web platform by their Stock Keeping Units (SKUs) or brand names.
2. Manufacturers and importers of goods subject to Digital Tax Stamps (DTS), are required to validate the accuracy and completeness of their registered SKUs that have been migrated from the DTS System to the excise duty filing system. To view your migrated SKUs, log into your taxpayer account on https://www.ura.go.ug, click “product list” under excise duty return filing link.

• The accuracy of the excise duty return depends on the completeness of the registered products or brands.

1. This extension does not change the statutory payment date for excise duty.
