In June 2020, RippleNami signed an agreement with the Government of Uganda through the Ministry of Finance (MoF) to develop the Rental Tax Compliance System (rTCS). rTCS is a multifaceted software platform that enables the government to integrate selected government data to match real estate properties to their individual and/or corporate owners to determine individuals and corporations likely to be underpaying their rental income tax obligations.

• Uganda Revenue Authority discussing the tax regime in Uganda, emphasizing Rental Income Tax; URA will have the opportunity to educate taxpayers about their Rental Income Tax obligations effective July 1st.
