Uganda Revenue Authority has transfered the administration and management of the Motor Vehicle Registration function to the Ministry of Works and Transport (MoWT), eaded by Gen. Katumba Wamala. The mandate to register and license motor vehicles in Uganda will now be a responsibility of the Ministry of Works and Transport. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

URA in the interim will remain responsible for motor vehicle customs clearance and first time registration (Issue of first time number plates for newly imported motor vehicles), therefore all post registration processes under the Domestic Taxes Department in URA will immediately be handed over to the Ministry of works and Transport effective 3rd November 2021.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00a0
The transfer of Motor vehicle administration to the Ministry of Works is intended to improve service delivery to the public. “This will be made possible through the joint development and implementation of Integration capabilities of the various systems including; the interface between motor vehicle records archiving system, e-Tax system, ASYCUDA world, e- platform service desk system, client queue management system and the automated licensing system,” a statement issued by both parties said in part.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During the transition URA will continue to offer technical support to the MoWT and jointly continue to update the public on every available information.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The public is urged to embrace this move for better service delivery.For further information, call our toll-free lines 0800117000\/0800217000 or email us at\u00a0services@ura.go.ug<\/a>\u00a0or WhatsApp 0772140000.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
