The Uganda Revenue Authority will not leave even a rat squeeze through to evade taxes and the latest after the hullabaloo over EFRIS is the deployment of surveillance drones at porous border points to curb tax evasion and create a levelled marketplace.
"URA currently has more than 27 cargo scanners as part of non-intrusive screening at official border crossings, one step towards developing anti-smuggling technology," Bbosa said. This operation recovered eight motorcycles used in the conveyance of smuggled goods, 1,340 litres of Dynas cooking oil, 1,000 litres of petrol, 500 pieces of soap, 125kg of brown sugar, and 600 packets of spaghetti.
According to data from URA, During the period of July to March of the FY 2021/22 over Shs70.04 billion was recovered from 5,748 seizures ranging from textiles, contraband cosmetics, rice, and fuel among others. In a phone interview Abel Kagumire, the commissioner for customs at URA, told this publication that he did not have current statistics on how much government is losing to smuggling.
