French and Ugandan officials started negotiations in June 2025 for their first bilateral income tax treaty to prevent double taxation.
French and Ugandan officials held the first round of negotiations for an income tax treaty in Kampala, Uganda, during the week of 23 June 2025.
A tax treaty is a bilateral agreement between two countries aimed at avoiding the double taxation of income. These treaties set out rules on how much tax each country can charge on the income, capital, or wealth of individuals or businesses. They are also commonly known as Double Tax Agreements (DTAs).
This treaty, if concluded, would be the first income tax agreement between the two countries. The treaty must be finalised, signed, and ratified by both nations before it can enter into force.
