National
Taxpayers and Tax Protection Organization is a grass
root non-profit, non-partisan organization, which works
as a watch-dog to protect taxpayers' rights, enhance
ethical revenue collections, influence accountability,
transparency and development.
We also mobilize taxpayers to get involved in referenda
and other national elections as a block vote to influence
fiscal and other national compelling issues.
In addition, we monitor code of conduct by tax inspectors
and collectors and following taxes to their rightful
conclusions.
GOALS:
|

in place a more tax compliant society in Uganda
- Empower
masses to monitor code of conduct by tax inspectors
and collectors and enable tax payers to ask for accountability
from their leaders

APPEAL:
N-TAPO like most Associations is member driven and with
freedom to fund raise from donors and well wishers of
its programs. Although the idea of Taxpayers Associations
is new in Uganda and Africa, it will, with time slowly,
humbly and surely sink into
peoples mind through continuous sensitization programs.
The biggest fraction our population is predominately
uneducated, illiterate,or semi illiterate people who
are easily intimidated or bribed because of poverty
and ignorance. The low level of contention with the
little they posses makes them to accept all forms of
low standard program arrangements.
While most of our people know very little of their human
rights and freedom, it leads them to adopt an attitude
of infirioty complex, resignation and helplessness in
all situations.
The need therefore for all well wishers of our programs,
to stand with us by guiding us with ideas and financial
assistance, to achieve our goals is more than welcome.
