Kampala, Uganda | LOUIS JADWONG | Uganda's Parliament has voted to maintain tax on mobile money and social media. 

In the vote, 164 MPs voted "No" to a proposed amendment by MP Wilfred Niwagaba that the whole paragraph on Mobile Money tax be deleted from Excise Duty (Amendment) Bill, No 2 2018. Only 125 voted "yes". (full list at bottom)

The vote was taken twice, as a first vote by show of hands was rowdy and Speaker Jacob Oulanya ordered a recount by roll call and tally.

The Excise Duty (Amendment) Bill, No 2 2018 was thereafter read for the third time and has will become law as soon as President Yoweri Museveni signs it.

The bill earlier in May imposed a 1 per cent tax on all mobile money transactions including deposits, transfers and withdraws. 

Following protests from the public, government later presented a new Bill, the Excise Duty (Amendment)(No.2) to reduce the tax to 0.5 per cent applicable to withdrawals only.

The State Minster for Finance David Bahati has argued that the tax collection sought to raise Sh 115 billion and would help check on the country’s debt burden and finance the expenditure priorities appropriated by Parliament. 

How MPS voted on the proposal by Ndorwa MP Niwagaba to delete paragraph (f) of the Excise duty Act 

Yes – Scrap the tax

No – Retain the tax
