“We understand that Value-Added Tax (VAT) has in the past not been paid on the said Bibles, prayer books and hymn books. This was an anomaly,” wrote Akol.
This was in response to a petition Archbishop Stanley Ntagali of the Church of Uganda who had asked URA to release a consignment of 9,120 prayer and hymn books imported from Nairobi.
Stanley Ntagali has demanded that the materials be released without the church having to pay VAT having been imported by Centenary Publishing House Limited, Church of Uganda’s (CoU) publishing arm.
