Parliament has amended Excise Duty Act, 2014 to limit the taxable mobile money transactions to withdrawal and to reduce the duty payable from 1% to 0.5%.
The highlight is Mwine Mpaka, a member of the NRM party and son to Minister Bright Rwamirama who voted against his party position to the surprise of fellow parliamentarians.
Other MPs also belonging to the NRM voted against their party as seen on the list below.
Before the list, it should be noted that the tax was first met with stiff resistance from the public who describe it as exploitative.
Some observers say that by introducing the mobile money tax, Government seems to be stabbing itself in the back by taxing everything, including lifelines of its people especially the poor.
Key:
Yes – Scrap the tax
No – Retain the tax
