Is Uganda Revenue Authority down? User reports show problems with Uganda Revenue Authority

Is Uganda Revenue Authority down right now?

The strongest signal on Uganda Revenue Authority status is the flow of Uganda Revenue Authority down reports from taxpayers on this page. A sharp rise near a filing deadline points to portal strain rather than an error in your return.

As a live test, open the portal login page on a second connection. A login page that loads elsewhere while your office line fails ties the fault to your connection and not the authority systems.

Is Uganda Revenue Authority down for me or everyone?

Try the portal on your phone after the office network fails. One working path into your TIN account proves the portal is up and puts the fault on the first network or browser.

Your TIN account and the first login

The portal login ID is your ten digit TIN, and a first login uses the default password sent to the email declared at registration. Inside the account, e-services covers registration changes, filing, payments, objections and clearance applications.

The portal now prompts taxpayers to link their TIN record to their national ID number, and to confirm phone contacts and business details. Filings and payments stay blocked until that update is complete, so finish it before a deadline week.

Filing returns under e-services

Each tax type has its own return form inside the portal, from income tax to VAT and PAYE schedules. The form validates figures as you file, and a filed return ends with an acknowledgement receipt that you should save for your records. Employer schedules break a filing into employee lines, and the form flags a line that lacks a TIN before you submit.

Payment registration and paying the tax

Before you pay, the portal generates a payment registration number that ties your money to the right tax and period. During a Uganda Revenue Authority outage, that generation step can fail outright. It can also produce a number that banks cannot find. Register the payment again once the portal steadies instead of paying against a stale number.

Clearance certificates, objections and vehicle services

Tax clearance applications run through the portal and depend on filed returns and a clean payment record. The same account handles objections to assessments and motor vehicle services such as transfers and logbook printing. Clearance outcomes land inside the same account, so no paper certificate chase is needed.

Common Uganda Revenue Authority Problems and Fixes

Portal faults split between your TIN account, the return form and the payment registration step. Start from the screen where the filing stopped.

Portal rejects a password you know is right

Check that the login ID field holds your TIN with no spaces, then use the forgot password route tied to your registered email. Repeated failed tries lock the account for a while, so stop after two attempts.

Return submits but no acknowledgement shows

Open the filed returns list inside your account before you file again. A return listed there is safely in, even when the acknowledgement screen failed to print.

Payment registration number not found at the bank

A payment registration expires after its validity window and banks then reject it. Generate a fresh registration on the portal and pay against the new number the same day.

Portal crawls on the filing deadline day

File outside the peak hours of the deadline day when you can, and keep each upload small. A return started early in the day moves through the validation steps far faster.

TIN link prompt blocks every filing

Complete the identity update inside the portal by linking your TIN to your national ID number and confirming your contacts. The block lifts once the record matches, with no visit needed.
