Minister of Finance Matia Kasaija will next week meet traders who have petitioned against the tax regime on textile fabrics and garments.

The traders are asking for a review of the import duty of 35% or USD 3.0/Kg whichever is higher for textile fabrics locally referred to as gyola and 35% or USD 3.5/Kg whichever is higher for finished textile garments.

The current tax regime on textiles is informed by the fact that Uganda continues to import large quantities of finished textiles and related products worth about USD 231 million which results in an outflow of foreign exchange and donation of jobs to foreign textile industries.
