URA Unveils Faster, Simpler Way for Taxpayers to Make Payments Using USSD Code

Uganda Revenue Authority (URA) has encouraged taxpayers to use the #URAUSSDCODE, a convenient payment option designed to make it easier for individuals and businesses to settle their tax obligations.The USSD service provides taxpayers with a simple payment process without requiring internet access or a smartphone.

This means even people using basic mobile phones can access the service and complete their transactions.One of the key advantages of the service is that users are not charged session fees when accessing the platform. This allows taxpayers to initiate and complete their payment transactions without incurring additional costs for the USSD session.The system is also designed to reduce the time required to make tax payments. By providing a faster route for completing transactions, taxpayers can avoid lengthy procedures and spend less time completing their payment obligations.

According to the information provided by URA, the payment process creates a direct link between MTN Mobile Money, URA and the bank, helping to simplify transactions and reduce the possibility of errors during payment.The USSD option is particularly useful for taxpayers in areas where internet connectivity may be limited.

Since it works on ordinary mobile phones, users in both urban and rural communities can access the service without depending on smartphones or data bundles.URA’s digital payment approach is aimed at making tax compliance more convenient while improving the efficiency and reliability of transactions. Taxpayers can therefore use the USSD option as an alternative way of meeting their payment obligations.With its accessibility, speed and simplified process, the #URAUSSDCODE provides taxpayers with another practical way to make payments conveniently and securely, wherever they are.
