The Uganda Revenue Authority (URA) has defended its decision to acquire additional office space at the newly opened RR Pearl Tower on Yusuf Lule Road in Kampala, saying the move is aimed at improving operational efficiency and enhancing service delivery to taxpayers.
The new offices will accommodate key departments, including the Large Taxpayers Office (LTO), the Public Sector and Medium Taxpayer Divisions, as well as other specialized units.
Robert Kalumba, URA’s Assistant Commissioner of Public and Corporate Affairs, said the expansion was necessitated by the authority’s growing workforce and the increasing complexity of Uganda’s economy, particularly with emerging industries such as oil and gas.
“We have grown to serve you better and faster,” Kalumba said. “This expansion responds to the growth of companies in sectors like oil and petroleum, which need specialized attention.”
Kalumba revealed that the relocation to Pearl Tower wlill be implemented in phases to ensure continuous service to taxpayers
