URSB Annual Returns Filing

Under Section 134(1) of the Companies Act, all registered companies must file annual returns to URSB at least once a year. This process confirms the company’s standing and updates its information with the registrar. Houston Executive Consulting takes the hassle out of URSB annual returns filing by managing everything from document preparation to submission on your behalf.

Failing to file annual returns with URSB within the required timeline can lead to penalties, including the risk of your company being struck off the register. Our corporate secretarial services in Uganda ensure that your company remains compliant by filing returns within the 42-day window following your annual general meeting.

Our services include:

• Reviewing and updating company details, including officers, registered office address, share capital, and shareholders.
• Completing and submitting annual return forms online via the URSB portal.
• Ensuring compliance with URSB requirements to avoid fines and legal complications.

URA Tax Returns Filing in Uganda

Businesses in Uganda must file tax returns with the Uganda Revenue Authority (URA) in addition to URSB annual returns. Our URA tax returns filing service provides professional support in filing provisional and yearly returns, ensuring that your company complies with income tax regulations and avoids penalties for late or incomplete submissions.

All registered taxpayers are expected to file a tax return. Whether your company has made a profit or incurred a loss, this declaration must be made annually to URA. We handle all aspects of URA compliance, including preparing tax documents and ensuring the accuracy of your filings.

Our licensed tax agents are authorized by the Tax Agents Registration Committee (TARC) to handle tax issues on your behalf, providing tax advisory services to guide your company through the process. Our services are designed to ensure that your tax compliance is seamless, accurate, and fully compliant with the applicable laws.

Missing the annual return filing deadline in Uganda can result in penalties that may significantly impact your business. Houston Executive Consulting takes the complexity out of managing filing deadlines. We keep track of your company’s URSB and URA compliance, ensuring timely submissions to avoid unnecessary penalties.

Typical deadlines include:

• URSB returns must be filed within 42 days following the annual general meeting.
• URA annual returns are due within 12 months from the end of the financial year.

Failure to comply with these deadlines can lead to fines or other repercussions. Our proactive approach helps ensure you stay compliant, avoiding disruptions to your business activities.

Why File Annual Returns?

Annual returns filing is a critical corporate compliance measure demonstrating your company’s commitment to transparency and accountability. You minimize the risk of non-compliance and related penalties by keeping your business information updated with URSB and adhering to URA tax obligations.

Compliance with annual returns filing laws also protects your company from being struck off the company register or facing default fines, which can harm your reputation and financial standing. Additionally, meeting these obligations enhances your business’s credibility with stakeholders, including potential investors, clients, and partners.
