Uganda finds their power – in taxation!

Uganda is showing the power of modern, specific, taxation: targeting rich, white, western companies, and with a young population who crave social media – it’s a war Ugandan’s could easily win.

50% to help the country improve working conditions for all, and increase departments like the WorkCover Authority to ensure safe working conditions.
