The Uganda Revenue Authority (URA) announced on Monday that it had exceeded their target of revenue income for the financial year 2018/19 collecting Shs16,617.65bn of the projected Shs16,358.76 bn.
The taxman attributed the 15% leap to the tax compliance of several businesses and individuals. As a token of appreciation, URA released a list of the most complaint rental income real estate companies and individuals that put tycoon Dr Sudhir Ruparelia and his company, Meera Investments a mile above the competition in filing their returns.
Meera Investments – the leading property developer in Uganda owned by the Ruparelia Group topped the list of 25 non-individual taxpayers while Sudhir Ruparelia was pipped by Alnasir Hussein Habib to come second in the top individual rental taxpayers category.
Meera Investments has since 1994 been in the business of building and maintaining commercial, residential properties as well as several warehouses in Uganda and beyond.
