Ugandan car dealers warned that vehicle import taxes may rise as the government seeks new revenue in the next budget. Importers said taxes already add 40% to 60% to used car prices through duties, VAT, excise, and age-related levies. While rates remain unchanged, dealers and clearing agents cited growing uncertainty, higher costs from currency shifts, and concern that age or environmental levies could increase.
