The body has mainly set the target on supermarkets in the whole country.
Ibrahim Bbossa, the assistant commissioner public and corporate affairs at URA, said officials will be providing support services.
This will help ensure that EFRIS is used by businesses as they issue fiscalized receipts and invoices to their customers.
“URA is carrying out this exercise to support businesses that are having challenges using the EFRIS while helping those that are not yet on EFRIS to embrace it. We urge the general public to buy goods and services from businesses that are using EFRIS. And to further demand for fiscalized receipts and invoice,” he said in a statement.
He further said that a fiscalized receipt shows proof that the tax one pays goes directly into the consolidated fund.
He called upon business owners to take up this exercise and get their tax affairs in order without moving away from their businesses. This will also help them avoid inconveniences caused by non-compliance.
The EFRIS came into existence in 2020 from URA to make some electronic taxing solutions.
It allows one to safely, easily and at no cost issue electronic tax documents and check their validity, by logging onto the system or the URA web portal.

![[dropcap]A[/dropcap] section of women in Bugongo parish and Nawangaiza parish in Nawandala Sub County, Iganga District have decried the near-impossible terms set for them to access GROW funds. They have now petitioned their woman member of parliament for Iganga Hon. Kauma Sauda Alibaawo to ask the government for revised terms and conditions. This is to enable them to benefit from the program. The disgruntled women accuse the implementers of the program of charging the money. They are also asking for their land titles and land agreements. They said that such properties are governed by their husbands. These, therefore want the government through their woman MP to intervene and revise the requirements for one to benefit. The women were on Wednesday at Namabwere primary school in Nawandala Sub County. They had gathered in their respective groups to receive over 300 chickens from Hon Alibaawo in her campaign to improve the livelihood of women in Iganga district. Each group was given 50 chicken as start-up capital in their journey to prosperity. Read what some leaders said; Ms Naigambi Lydia from Nawandala Trading Centre says, “They solicited money from us through opening bank accounts and depositing Shs80,000. They also asked for land titles and land agreements from us yet we don’t have such things. I was informed that I needed to have a business with a capital of Shs4m yet my capital was very small.” The chairperson Kisoboka Saving Group in Nawandala Ms. Nakagolo Faith said they were not able to join the program. This is given the many conditions attached. She also asked their woman MP to raise their concerns to the relevant offices. The MP condemned the mode of implementation of the program. She cited that it has turned to benefit the well-off class of women other than the intended group. She further asked the government to intervene saying the current strings attached to the programme are very tight to accommodate a common woman. GROW project is a Government of Uganda initiative that arose out of the need to respond to the needs of women entrepreneurs. This is especially those who want to grow their businesses, sustain their self-employment and create more jobs.
