Your money and tax,
made clear.
Selah is where individuals and businesses in Uganda understand their money, their tax, and their obligations — worked out from the current law, on your own numbers, and shown step by step. What you owe, what you're owed, and what's about to change, always in plain language.
Your first 335,000 is tax-free. The rest is taxed in three steps.
Real people. Real numbers. From a market trader working out her small-business tax, to a company reconciling payroll with its directors — Selah is for anyone in Uganda who needs to know where they stand, and see how the figure was reached.
How Selah works
We show our working
Every number, three levels deep: the answer, the arithmetic, and the actual section of the Act it came from.
We date everything
Uganda's tax law changes every 1 July. An undated figure is a liability. Every number carries the day we checked it.
We never say "do this"
We give you the options, priced, with what each one requires of you and where each one stops working. The decision is yours.
Where to start
Four ways in. Start wherever you are.

Compliance Readiness
Describe your business once. See the statutory obligations that apply, why they apply, and when they are due — across URA, URSB, NSSF, PDPO, FIA and your local authority.
Check your business's obligations
A short, guided questionnaire. Nothing is saved — you review the results and can download a report. It tells you what applies, never that you have complied.
Who this is for
Three people. Three things nobody told them.
The consultant
Five years of government contracts
Every client withheld 6% from every invoice. It was never a cost — it was tax he had already paid. He just never collected the certificates.
UGX 70,000,000 — sitting with URA
The founder
A grant ended. Payroll changed.
NSSF kept accruing after the grant stopped. There was no letter, no alarm, no notification event. It just kept growing at 10% a month.
Still unresolved
The finance manager
Bidding for a government tender
Every company return filed. Every shilling paid. Refused a Tax Clearance Certificate anyway — because one director had never filed his own personal return.
Lost the tenderWhy one platform, not three
"Your personal unfiled tax return is what's blocking your company's Tax Clearance Certificate."
A spotless company — every return filed, every shilling paid — is still refused its certificate if one director hasn't filed their own personal return. It's invisible from inside the company's books. You find out when you lose the tender.
The company and its directors are usually looked at separately. The arrears live in the gap between them. A product with a "Personal" tab and a "Business" tab keeps that gap in software. So we didn't build one — Selah looks at both together.
Stay current
Uganda's tax law changes every 1 July.
Selah tracks the stage each change is at — proposed, passed, signed, in force — so a figure only computes once the law actually is one. See what's changing, and what is not yet law.
