Airtel Uganda has begun the reimbursement of tax to all its customers who were charged the 1% tax for making mobile money deposits and bank to wallet transfers.
The reimbursement follows a directive from Uganda Revenue Authority, which states that the 1% excise duty previously charged is not applicable to the aforementioned transactions under the Excise Duty (Amendment Act), 2018.
All Airtel Money subscribers who had transacted in the period between July 1 st and 4th 2018 have already received full tax reimbursement.
Making the announcement, Airtel Uganda’s Managing Director, VG Somasekhar highlighted the company’s commitment to compliance.
